POEM_: In Danger

In Danger

Millions of Muslims

all around the globe

worry that

Muslims are in danger.

The theologians, and other

self-appointed saviours

of Muslims, however,

tell them, “No,

Islam is in danger”.

And Muslims chant,

“Islam in danger”,

“Islam in danger”,

“Islam in danger”.

Well, Islam

should be in danger.

As should all other

religions, dogmas: religious,

or otherwise.

Why?

Because dogma

has no interest

in truth. 

All it does,

like all other

biologically living

individuals, collectives,

and even cultures

is to fight

for its own survival.

And like all other

battles for survival,

shies away from no tactic

that promises it survival.

But truth fights no battles.

For it’s not merely

biological.  And its survival

can neverbe threatened. 

For truth is,

what is.

And was,

what was;

and will be

what will be.

Even time,

the power that vanquishes all

has no power

over It.

So,

truth fights no fight.

It even allows dogma

to pretend

that it isthe Truth.

And thus, dogma,

all dogma

is free to wear the pants

of the truth

and do all it sees fit

to survive. Even

fight the truth, itself:

a war, it mustknow

it cannot win.

However,

what dogma fights,

usually in the garb

of the truth,

is actually

other dogma.

So, all the Islams,

Judaisms and Christianities

and even, some

Hinduisms and Buddhisms

of the world, as also

the Communisms and Capitalisms

are the monstersthat care nothing

about anything, or anyone,

including their greatest worshippers.

All they wish to do

is to vanquish rival dogmas,

and thus, of course,

hope to survive

at least as long

as the human species.

But in the process

Muslims, and Christians,

and Hindus, and Buddhists

and Communists, and Capitalists

are hurt.  The humans

are endangered.

Yes, all dogma,

all Islam, all Christianity,

all Communism, all Capitalism

should be in danger. 

For only then, will humans

not be endangered.

Unfortunately,

it is not so.
