religion and science

gods of religion

in vain

build their castles

in the gaps

of human ignorance

expecting mortals

to pay homage

the lords of science

will knock down

at the opportune moment

these temples

with their paraphernalia

also persuading humans

the civilized citizens

with observable facts

and rationality

to revolt and rebel

against pretension

and falsehood

establishing the temple

of the mind

worshipping truth and beauty

and love

not a black cat

are you one, or a platoon i know not

and i am neither wrong, nor right
in my speaking of you!

do the birds and the animals

like me, have a you to turn to
to bring to a you their pleadings and prayers!

this too, with other unanswered questions

in my mind i am likely to brush aside
as childish, meaningless quest or, join
the multitude who have an easy answer:
there is no god
but fools follow superstition!

my blunt mal-adjustment to the world

permit not
me to run with them either!

and if you were the black cat

i am looking for in the darkest night
in the darkest room
but with a careful focus
i may settle with a hey
but you are neither that!
