Is a temple a holy abode
Does salvation have no other road?
For a stone can symbolize God
But a stone to be God is slightly odd
To offer flowers at his feet
When he created them so sweet
So why would he want them dead
It all goes over my head
Forgive me, for I'm a child
I try to keep my opinions mild
I do go to temples too
But to enjoy a ladoo or two
I am lured by every celebration
But Sanskrit is too much for the translation
I mean no offence, but do you get the chanting?
When you pray, do you always get your granting?
I think it's for personal satisfaction
Prayers are fine, but God demands more action
So instead of offering gold to the Almighty,
Why not adopt a child and do something mighty
Why not join Teach for India or some NGO
Prayers are fine, why not cure somebody's woe.
Niharika Prasad
