In Search of a Human Soul

By:  Dr. Maqsood Jafri

I am concerned with the unmitigated agony of human soul.

It is a sorrowful tale of decline, despondency and despair.

The priests and saints have failed to play their assigned role.

The forced morality is unnatural binding prone to disaster.

The edifice of sham spirituality is collapsing towards oblivion.

The parsons are swindlers selling the name of glorious God.

The webs of dichotomy confound their sense of precision.

In their hand you can see the scriptures and the golden rod.

We have lost the straight way of humanity and are vainly

Enmeshed in the pale of prides seeking the heavenly charm.

Left aside are the petals and the thorns have pricked sanely

Playing their part to bleed our souls and make arid the farm.

Must we enhance the boon of humanity and the evil must perish.

.We have to turn a rustic  in to kind and civilized sweet man.

Such are the lofty goals that an agonized soul have to cherish.

The flames of hate culture and despicable rites must not we fan.
