If you can sway your mind <br />Why must you pray to God? <br />If you can single out soul <br />Why must you nurse the body? <br /> <br />That the world is an illusion, <br />Why must you preserve things? <br />That the conscience is the master, <br />Must you fear the consequence? <br /> <br />Happy moments are life, <br />Built even on false beliefs. <br />Theists and atheists are alike <br />In their approach to life. <br /> <br />One is merry to eat and drink, <br />And the other, to starve and save. <br />One is merry to pray and fast, <br />And the other, to lick and beg. <br />03.01.2007<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/be-rational/
