Literature: Poem: "I See Gods" By Bhuvan Thapaliya

    I See Gods
When I gave some food
To the poor old beggar
I saw God in his eyes
As he gleamed with delight

When I healed the wound
Of the deserted street dog
I saw God in his tongue
As he licked my hands with love

When I saved a young virgin
From being raped by the culprits
I saw God in her sentiments
As she gestured me thank you

When I watered the plants
In the scorched wasteland
I saw God in the leaves
As they rejuvenated with life

When I gave hope
To the hopeless
I saw God in their resolution
As they marched with sanguine heart

When I freed the prisoners
From their own prison of delusion
I saw God in their freedom
As they appreciated the realism

When I ignited the spirit of compassion
In the consciousness of the humankind
I saw God in their neutrality
As they annihilated the domicile of disparity

When I estranged the egoism from me
And dedicated my life to serve the humanity
I saw God in my revelation
As I realized the necessity of the global unity

I think it is time to set God aside for a second and look within ourselves. God's job is done, we are here, rest is ours!

Dear Pratisha...thanks for those lovely comments about my poem....so sweet of you...But my friend I dont totally agree with you....It is not important to question and wonder about God cause God is love....let us see the world via the eyes of love....And to be precise love is my religion...And love is not paradox my any means...cheers...love n luck.....BHUWAN from Kathmandu.

Pratistha:
So well said!

'Religiousness' is more important than mere 'Religion'. Religiousness comprises of love and hope to which we all should adhere.

First of all, this is a nice poem. Sadly a lot of these things never really seem to happen very often. At the same time, while acknowladging the good in humanity, i must ask and who causes all these terrible things you mentioned in your poem to exist in the first place. Why, if God is truely all powerful, does he allow sickness and poverty and saddness in the world? And if he wants to stop all things terrible and can't is he really worth worshipping. I think that religion in itself is a needed paradox, and that we may never understand it or God. I think more than seeing God, it is important to question and wonder about God, but to alos, never give up on things life hope and love.
