Spirit of Christmas doesn’t grow on a fir tree,
Christmas blooms wherever the heart is hatefree.
Ramadan isn’t fulfilled by feasting on some tasty beef,
The greatest of feast is haram if others go hungry.
Hanukkah’s miracle isn’t about the oil lasting 8 days,
Rather it’s about the resilience of light amidst darkness.
Fireworks may be diwali for those still in kindergarten,
Everyday is diwali for an existence rooted in kindness.
The will to love and the will to lift are the backbone,
Of all human celebration, tradition and communion.
Take that fundamental will out of the equation,
All you have left are rituals without meaning and mission.
Fasting, feasting and decorating are step two of any festival.
First and foremost, at our altar within, we gotta light a candle.

God is the greatest undelusion of all,
but only when you find it in the living,
while it’s the desecrator of lives, when
you revere or refute from either extreme.

God is like Schrodinger’s cat,
one moment it’s there, the next it’s not –
all depends on the state of mind –
there’s no divine outside human eyes.

I see my God in people,
in their happiness God smiles.
Obliterate people from the world,
and you exterminate God like termite.

World is my church, the persecuted are my deity.
God faith is interfaith, human welfare is my priority.
