If humanity had no deadly weapons

What a peaceful world it would be

There would be no wars anti tank missiles

No Racism Discrimination Exclusion Bigotry

But Peace Happiness as well prosperity

 

As they say:

“Idle mind is a devil’s workshop”

Humanity does need weapons

Of Mass destruction to settle differences

 

Why kill murder rape? if one cannot agree

With people’s thoughts words or ideologies

Settle them peacefully

By creating an hateful atmosphere

One’s conscience will catch up

With you eventually.

 

Keep meeting, keep talking

That’s why we have the

United Nations which

Consists of  every race caste creed

Including religions like

Hindus Muslins Christians Sikhs

Bahais as well Zoroastrians

 

The reminder is the

Charter of Rights

Etched on a clay tablet

By our Cyrus the Persian King

Proudly displayed at the U.N

Reminding humanity

“How one should treat

Or be treated not like

A slave who is being humiliated

Poked prodded waiting to be bought

Humans don’t need to be discriminated

Because of their color  caste or creed

But,treated with self respect tolerance

Equality as well dignity”

Need I say more?

Feelings of love & hatred
Is like a ” martini
Shaken not stirred”
But where humanity
Is concerned
Line between them
Is totally blurred

Mixing vodka and
Orange juice in society
Is Totally acceptable
But, mixing hate
As well love
Is totally combustible

Hatred is like a Tsunami
Destroying everything
In its path through
War violence murder rape
Destroying lives of innocent people
Like having a chokehold over them
Till they have breathed
Their last

Love is like a
Bottle of perfume
When we spray
A scented misty
Aroma fills the room
Dispelling the
Gloom & the doom

Lastly, I would
Like to state
Let’s cross the street
By trading Hate
For Love

Nobody owns the religion

So dictating someone

What one can & do

Goes against the very thread

Of Tenets of Zoroastrianism

Cause we have No Rules

 

Equality as well Universality

Is the very core of our

Religion so by preventing

Someone to follow the religion

Smacks of Racism discrimination

Bigotry as well Exclusion

 

Zoroastrianism is shifting

Into quicksand

So trying to make the

Blue blood understand

Is like  breaking one’s head

Against the  Stone Wall

Only when the catastrophe strikes

They will understand that He

Won’t be there when the last

Tear drop falls like the

(Omicron Virus alive and kicking)

 

Acts like these do not

Go unpunished

Cause there is a consequence

One will only realize it

And gives  the punishment

He see fit

 

One can pay cash

Or credit card

To secure a place

In “Heaven

That’s not how

Ahura Mazda operates

He Believes in

Equal Justice for all

No matter who you be

Colour Caste religion or creed

Who are we as humans

To practice RDB

Against  another human?

No matter what colour

Caste creed

Or no matter what

Walk of life

Rich poor beggar thief

 

We do not a minute

Hesitate to vehemently express

Our views on every single aspects

That affect our lives

But why not our Religion

Cause we expect Him

To be there

To catch us in

His safety net

 

We should learn a

Very valuable lesson

From Covid 19

It wraps it’s icy claws

Sticks to one like a leech

Without making any distinction

No matter what denomination

Zoroastrians are no exceptions

 

Pandemics will come

Pandemics will go

Will some wooden hearts melt ?

We will never know

I have nothing against

The “Establishment” but

The attitude they portray

As though “They are the Alpha

And  the Omega”

(Keepers of the Faith)

Save you from any

Calamity that is thrown

Your way!

 

Humanity has been endowed

With Common Sense as well

The Power of Reasoning

So even if tells one to do something

Weigh one’s option before one executes it

 

Just because one bades one

To jump in the well

I wonder whether one would jump

Stand up have a spine

An say” After you”

That will stop  that person

Issuing the Fatwas in his/her tracks

 

Just because

One is a priest

Cannot order people

Around or issue Fatwas

Cause one doesn’t have

Monopoly over wisdom

 

The day “Fatwa issuing People”

Perform  miracles

Like Moses did parting of

The Red Sea or if one

Is able make the variants

Disappear and heal sick

Or as Asho Zarathushtra cured the horse

May be I would believe it

 

No human whether a lay or priest

Can perform miracles

So stopyour idiotic nonesical fatwas

By ordering people around

 

So stop listening and use one’s

Common sense as well as

Power Reasoning

Including have Faith one’s Prayers

That’s the only way to lead

One’s life ( deaf dumb blind)

As they say:

“You are the master of your fate and captain of your soul”

TO EACH THEIR OWN

Choicest Happiness

United we stand

Divided we fall”

We will never be united

But will surely crumble like

The  Berlin Wall!

 

Where there is

Sumptuous food

And lots of wine

To drink

Parsis swarm like bees

They gorge & gorge

Till they say” No more

Thank you Please

Keeping the Motto:

Ëat Drink and be Merry alive

 

Having deaf ears as

As well being  blind as

To what’s going on

Half a world away

The attitude:””Who cares””

As long as it’s not in our backyard

 

Religious Meetings on Zoom

Is doing nobody any good

Instead concentrate on

How to eradicate

Hunger disease poverty

And eradicate

Hatred Racism Bigotry

 

Do you know that the

Situation in  Afghanistan

Has gone so dire

That families are selling

Their babies as commodities

In order to provide food

For the rest of their  families

And  light the house fire

 

If you Parsis were in dire need

Of food water shelter or clothing

Would you consider selling your kids

As commodities?or

Would you rather starve to death

Before you took your last breath

 

Lastly

Before one frets and fumes

or  let  Fire coming out ones ears

After reading what I penned

The reason being :I am A Parsi

As well as A Human

In every religion
There is love
But Love has no
Religion
Neither it’s entrenched
With Hate violence
But teaches us compassion

When one is consumed
With utter Hatred
Just because they
Hold different ideologies
Or for matter are of

Different colour, caste or creed?

Negative feelings it does breeds

As I have stated before
Hatred is spread through
Ignorance which are
Accepted by fools
As well idiots.

So if one wants acceptance
Embrace diversity as well

Inclusion

Nobody has monopoly

Over wisdom

 

Lastly:

Greatness is not found in

Possession power position

Or prestige.

It is discovered in goodness

Humility service and character

Religions are a like

An orchard where

Delicious sumptuous

Fruit trees abound

Each “fruit tree” is unique

In Nature with

Different shapes &

Sizes are found

When they start

To “ripen”

It gets rid of the

“Foul smell that abounds”

 

Religion is not muttering

Mambo Jumbo from the

Prayer book or

Visiting Atash Behrams

Or agiaries

Nor praying near the

Holy Fire

Or for that matter

Performing religious ceremonies

But, its on’s thoughts

Words Deeds that counts

 

Zoroastrianism is a

Religion which gives

One the Choice

To lead one’s life

The way one wants

But, apparently there

Always be Bad rotten apples

Misleading innocent  in the name

Of our Religion.

 

Religion is not

A mound of clay

To be twisted turned

Inside out  as well

Abused in anyway

It’s a road map

For you to renounce evil

And stay away

 

 

Religion teaches one

To do no evil, hear no evil

And speak no evil

Yet gossip, hypocrisy

Dog us every step of the way!!!

 

Listen to no one

Just use one’s

Power of Reasoning

These “ignorants'”

Do not have any power

As to who gets to go

To the land of Dreams

 

Lastly:

I respect all religions

I give my hands to many

But  my heart to one

Zoroastrianism
