God is neither kind nor cruel,
He is a singular concept in Himself.
Being indifferent to everything
It hardly matters to Him what happens to us.
Anything in the universe is not ideal,
So fault is inherent everywhere.
When it exhibits we call bad time,
If not, it appears as good to all.
There is no absolute happiness,
It shows and disappears just like tides.
We fools in the world build paradise
This crumbles in no time.
Since we ourselves are Gods
But lost our self hood due to ignorance,
There is no point to run after Him
In stead we should remove our own veil.
Still one question remains, how veil comes?
None has answered it well.
Most of prophets and saints say this as ‘Lila’,
It should be called the fault of physical existence.

I hear you
I have always believed in God all my life and I know iy is not his fault what happenes to us here on earth it mostly all our own doing the good and the bead. We within ourselves feel we know best and trudge in full speed . Knowing this if things turn out badly we cry out and blame him for letting such a thing happen yet refusing to blame our own self for not living the way we should. Often he does send the help we need through others that we overlook for its not the help we were looking for for instant gratification. Every one we meet in our life are part of the puzzel be it a test or to move upward .

I have not specifically made God responsible for the fault in my write here even though I may be feeling so sometimes. But point I made here is 'no creation can be devoid of fault'. Any exixtence needs fault to exist itself. Hope I am clear.

Interesting piece... I like how you portrayed human ingnorance and how you talked about happiness.
I believe the poem is pretty realistic and I agree with its message.
