Children of lesser gods

 

There are ten colors of belts in Judo and karate leading up to Black

There are ten levels within black belt, they don’t cut each other any slack

 

There are levels in everything including in people like in karate and judo

Levels for people are in the eyes of humans, all are equal in eyes of God, as you know

 

There are people in the world who starve, and some live hand to mouth daily

There are others with so much money their ten generations don’t need to work safely

 

There are people who walk every where, they can’t afford any transportation

There are others with scores of pink cadillacs, but they have no motivation

 

An honest but poor man is looked at suspiciously by everyone, including the cops

While the rich man cheats, embezzles, commits crimes, using his wealth as props

 

There are people with not much talent or education, simply born in rich families

There are talented and educated people struggling daily to feed their starving bellies

 

There are good and honest people so ugly and deformed, their own shadow runs away

There are beautiful people with stinking manners, but on the world they hold sway

 

   Maola Ali has said,”Halaaki for any man who doesn’t realize his qadr”

    if he is self respecting and content , proud with tumaakhi title rich give to poor bashar

 

There are people who keep donating to their religious organization, sacrificing their own needs

Those organizations swallow it all unabashedly and demand more to perform poor man’s deeds

 

Sincere faith in many religions(1) is measured with the yard stick of donation

Sincere faith, these days has nothing to do with practice, belief or dedication

 

Whether you are a crook or you practice the precepts of religion is immaterial

For your privileges and prestige to keep climbing, exorbitant donations are essential

 

Even though all religions teach us to believe in only one God, above all gods

Then why the poor or ugly people are treated like the children of lesser gods

 

Thanks to all our Doats we don’t have such yardsticks or subjective treatment

All mumineen are equal in the eyes of Maola Burhanuddin, may he live healthy ta qiyamat
