Prayer, a Beggary

People keep on praying

at churches, temples, Masjids,

but for what intent?

We’re always asking for something or begging.

Our mind is overruled by such prayers.

Reliance advances; subservience is nurtured in prayers.

Life is perpetually offering us a lot.

Isn’t the very life we lead an offer?

When you serve the destitute,

You notice worthiness within yourself.

Only benevolence makes you feel blessed.
