Burning question: Part 2
I kept my ideology in line with the religious views that i had accumulated along the years and had grown in me.
God surely hadn't created me for sightseeing
Success is everyone's dream
But what exactly was success
Having 6 figures in your account??
Surely this wouldn't count
Surely this wouldn't define my spiritual worth
His word says that when we leave this Earth
We will leave these material perks
I eyed at the distant dark sky above
Glittering with stars it was
The way they were spaced they looked like the footprints of the angels who resided in the metropolis above
Like the dove that was released by Noah to search for land in a world that was filled with water
I was in search of the bigger picture in the smallest .frame
I gained consciousness in the midst of all this trauma
An answer stung me like a pungent odour
This world has so much pain and suffering
Famines, wars, poverty have been stealing the headlines
Since the beginning of time
If the son of God made an effort in helping the society what stopped us from doing the same??
We play hopscotch on our way to work
Hopping over the bodies in the streets that
Slumber on the cold concrete floor
Whilst wrapped in plastics for warmth
We never care to lend a helping hand or a warm smile at their frozen faces
Yearning for love
Ignoring the soft whispering voice in our heads encouraging us to help
Like thrown away litter
They await for someone to pick them up
And recycle them back into relevance of the society
But the pendulum does not swing their way
It was definitely food for thought
And I had been served a full plate
God surely hadn't created me for sightseeing
Success is everyone's dream
But what exactly was success
Having 6 figures in your account??
Surely this wouldn't count
Surely this wouldn't define my spiritual worth
His word says that when we leave this Earth
We will leave these material perks
