AN EVENING WALK <br /> <br />On a Tuesday evening walking down Dwarka’s <br />Sector four, <br />I happened to cross a temple on the ground floor. <br />I saw a string of devotees buying flowers and <br />sweets, <br />As offering to the Gods perhaps as penance for <br />their misdeeds! <br />Those blessed sweets are distributed amongst the <br />baggers on the street, <br />With the hope of improving our conduct sheet! <br />Let us not worship the Lord for fear of retribution, <br />But out of love seek Him, establishing a two-way <br />communication! <br />Let us not visit the temple only for seeking favours <br />of the Supreme Being, <br />But for seeking His blessings to become a better <br />human being! <br /> -Raj Nandy <br /> New Delhi <br /> 06 Jan 09 <br />(MY PRAYER FOR THE NEW YEAR!)<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-evening-walk-3/
