THIS WORLD NEEDS A GOD!
Prof. Munuswamy sidhu@giasmd0lvsnl.net.in
Why-why my Lord? Why so many colors, and variety of climates?
Why so many sounds, and systems in nature? Why meaningless declines, and many kinds of deaths?
Why iniquitous inequalities, and evil abuses? Why wasteful vanities, and wanton aggressions? Why atrocious abnormalities, and undesirable births?
Why differing abilities, and declining opportunities? Why uncertain life spans, and unscrupulous moralities? Why dignity to the debased, and down graded values? Why evil gets enthroned, and devils dominate daily life?
Why prosperity to fat pigs, and abuses to half-starved? Why pleasures to priestly pigs, and spiritual deprivation to poor? Why morality to rich and famous, and simple folk with sinful conscience? Why cultural complexes to culprits on prowl, and humble
disadvantaged to honest pleasures? Why power to the corrupt, and convictions to conscientious? Why this discriminatory design, and devil inspired creation? Why man-made mischiefs, and manipulatory structures? Why truth is twisted to terrorize critics, and ill will
becoming easily enforceable? Why these westernized wastages, and oriental hypocrisies?
Why these endless miseries, and misplaced sympathies? Why these misinterpreted dogmas, and mischievous prayers?
Why these mechanical routines?
Why-why my Lord? Religion without reason!
Science without soul! Might becoming right!
