Love My God to Love Me

They say: Love me, love my dog!
Will you not then love my God to love me?
If you hate me and if I am not Buddha,
or a Christ, or Chaitanya,
then what will happen?

What happens is there
for all to see
in world affairs.

Desecration and destruction of shrines
has resulted in chasms unfilled.

Even a single vile word
severs relationships of siblings.
How can sects
respect each other
for acts of desecration?

No doubt when people create symbols
and others have not much idea about them
controversies may ensue,
resulting sometimes in bad blood.

The onus is then on leaders of societies
for reconciliation.

If leaders turn atrocious,
what future can human societies have,
other than destruction?
