WE ALL LOVE GOD. YET...

We all love God

As is evident

In our packed churches

On Sundays

And all our masjid

From Fajr to Isha

Five times every day.

Yet..

We cheat everything

And everyone!

Steal from the system

Lie to save our arses

Enrich ourselves

By hurting others

Spread so much hate

To those different from us

Kill, maim and destroy

Color me purple

But...

Isn't that goal of the exiled one?

Isn't that what makes him evil?

How can we explain

The vast chasm

Between One we say

Is the Epitome of holiness

And our definitely UNHOLY behavior

In almost all spheres

Of our lives?

Why are we then

Wasting our time

Doing all that 'worship'

When we cannot

Reflect the light

We spend so much time

Facing?

In the words of Lauryn Hill

'Check your motives and thoughts.'

We need to check our motives and thoughts.
