Body And Soul

Altın Yaprak
This body; a sheer materialist...
seeks sensuous pleasures
but the soul; a pure spiritualist...
wants to meld with the Redeemer!
Man is thus in fight with the man inside
...whether to treat this flesh and blood
with aesthetics and physical indulgence
or wait with asceticism for heavenly bliss!
Questions reign; answers elude,
many a true wise man died dispirited
leaving a little said and a lot unsaid
those few greats living today are subdued.
But these conundrums, for some charlatans
became unexpected professional boons.
Mushroomed half-bred brains christened
as Saints, sages, realists, rationalists and so on.
Well, their business is going on fine.
The so called saints are enjoying material gains
while pagans are praying God
to let their crowd swell
to buttress their pretensions and power-castles.
Even I don't know for sure the answers:
God or no God; rational or irrational
I only know that we are all social animals
supposed to treat
with love and kindness, each other.
