Closeness to God

Sunday,13th January 2019

 

I read the poem about the closeness

who shall have direct access?

to the God to receive

the blessings and firmly believe

 

I pondered over the issue

and felt that it was due

to give one's own view

and love the internal interview

 

theoretically. it is the priest

who always insists

that people should follow the right path

and always afraid the death

 

on God's name,

he claims close vicinity

performs all religious rituals

and as such called sacred individual

 

the beggar moves

with religious hymns

always God's name on the tongue

with God's picture in the neck to view

 

I felt shy

and never resolved to try

I can never be close

so chose not to pose for closeness
