is it ritual?
rocks on sides of valley;
without river flowing in between.
a hard core, where nothing is held
except granules it profess to contain.
if it is prayer and chanting
without melting heart,
then religion is noise
bereft of melody.
does it free men?
or let him tethered to belief.
prescribing do's and dont's
in vision of self righteous.
what will liberate,
is it belief, a non belief,
where truth lies in-between
shows its brilliance.
while one is free of these two imposter's.
truly religious
is to be free from all religions.
to know 'what is not'
in-order to find 'what is right'
