They take God down to the river
They say it a tradition
They get hold of the horns
Land up it's beard
Rip off it's ears
and entomb it into the bank
And one day, sea takes it along....
The "rotten God" to the endless sea
"Free.. Free... Free"
The birds sing around!
People propound it...
Say its water pollution!
But its a slow death....
Death to god....
I wonder their reasoning...
to submerge the idol
to set it free
into the eternal waters!
And as I leave....
Water goes on flowing
The trees keep growing
But with the singing of birds
God's small voice remains stilled
And unheard...

I found the poem very powerful and with deep meaning. Keep going!
If you are talking about the superstitious beliefs and their ultimate results and their futility, then I'll second that opinion of yours!
The empty and baseless beliefs are one of the plague of our society really!
@karan Thanks alot... Keep visiting :)
@Zave those empty beliefs are truly a disgrace to the society!
Good take on that meaningless ritual, causing pollution. Again respecting everyone's sentiments I feel there are a lot of traditions even among us Christians which are unnecessary and meaningless. Like we make a huge bonfire kind of a thing a day before Christmas and burn out old bibles and other items of spiritual importance that have worn out. And just like you I've wondered why we actually do it?
