Living in pain is no better than mere living <br /> <br />Reasons for worship are many <br />So are the reasons for our faith. <br />In between worship and faith <br />Lies the destiny of humanity. <br /> <br />Some are out calling for gains <br />Many are there just to thank <br />A few may ask for forbearance <br />Fewer are those who don’t want any. <br /> <br />When does death come to claim? <br />What is out there in store for me? <br />Where am I going to find my peace? <br />Who is there to lean on when I fall? <br /> <br />Help me identify what is right <br />So do me God, to keep me alive. <br />It’s all for YOU and because of YOU <br />I don’t want to be leaving and believing. <br /> <br />In these fleeting days, pitted between <br />Our worship and faith, lies hidden <br />A religion called pain, the physical one. <br />One needs to feel it to know its canons. <br /> <br />Reasons for worship are many <br />So are the reasons for our prayers. <br />If God is to be blessing us with some <br />Let that be some days free from pains. <br /> <br />Our prayers, faith and worship proclaim: <br />“It is not for nothing we all believe, <br />but not to be living in any form of pain. <br />For, living in pain is no better than mere living. <br /> <br />30.07.08<br /><br />A.
