A Scene At The Temple (01-09-09)

I stood there, with all those people

Praying for their welfare

What’s wrong with society ?

All they think about is money

I started to feel dizzy

My mind went out of control

I ran outside

Shared a bench with a laborer

Well, here it’s how it goes

The thing that caught my mind

She was scared to go inside

Scared to face all those people with dirty looks

Scared to step in the temple and pray with the rich

They say, everyone’s equal to God

So why is this inequality happening

She sat there, without a word

And kept on praying

Till it all went on in there

She had her child close to her heart

Who wanted to go inside

But she didn’t wanted it to face

That cruel world either

They kept sitting there till it was over

My so-called friends came from the inside

Giving me a weird look

I know what it was about

But that lady is still a human

Why don’t they treat her equally ?

And I feel so sorry, for all those people

Who differentiate between us and those innocents

What wrong did they do ?

What harm did they do to us ?

Why do we treat them unequally…?

We are the rich but also the poor, from the inside…
