What if –
Turban knew of white gowns?
Kuran met the cross in town?
Kashi mentioned Haj halts?
Kirpan visited puja stalls?
I know the ifs shall lead you where
A place with no bloodshed and despair.
If GOD resides in every man
Yet religion permits guns in hand
What conspired myth you proudly live?
And what is he, that gets killed?
Yet, its the place of ifs you hide
Behind reasons vaguer than your life!
And if –
Religion still schools you to war
I, an atheist deserve an applaud.
