Dedications

I prayed to God for wealth

Instead he gave me health 

I prayed for a palatial house

Instead he gave me a home with a beautiful family

I prayed for material possession

Instead he ensured food on the table for my family and me

I prayed for precious stones

Instead he melted my heart of stone

I prayed for a happy life

Instead he wanted me to make people happy

I prayed to God to end war

Instead he asked me, "Who started it."

I prayed to God for good climate in the world

Instead he asked me, "Who ruined it."

I prayed to God for religious peace

Instead he asked me, "Who made these religions."

I prayed to God to eliminate hatred

instead he asked me, "If he hated me. If not why am I hating." 

I prayed to God to eliminate jealousy

instead he showed me, what I am blessed with

Angry not a single prayer answered, I told God "It would have been better if I had prayed to the Devil."

He said, "Devil would have granted all my greed and I grant exactly what is your need."

You gave them right

They gave you fright

You gave them freedom

They put you in a doldrum

U gave freedom to practice religion

They destroyed your region

On their religion you cannot speak

Their religion is ultimate and yours weak

You welcomed then as an refugee

And they ensured you are not free

They block your streets to pray

Enjoy benefits from the taxes you pay

Hypocrisy is their book cannot be burnt

Is their God so weak that takes brunt

If you burn their book or insult it

It is death to the one who do it

They can kill, wage war, rape and destroy

But you cannot do anything to their ploy

Your laws give them protection

Their laws give you destruction 

Same God followed in lands of prosperity 

Give them no shelter or even humanity 

They want your laws of humanity

and bind your life with indignity

You reaped what you sowed in history

Colonizing and driving civilisation to penury

Then you needed them to build your land

They made sure on your land you will not stand

You can't reverse the clock 

They have reversed your flock

They will multiply and ensure their rules

Too late for you bloody fools

A video at the end of the news article link pasted below explains the  header. Coming to that later, some things that strikes a strong resemblance is how different is religion from politicians?

Politicians promise us a good life if we vote them to power. Monks, Spiritual Gurus, Maulvis or Priests promise us an even better life if we follow what they have to share or say (even dictate)

Take any political or spiritual leader's background and the ground on which they stand today. Most don't even stand on the ground. They are usually on an elevated platform or the ground they walk laid with a red carpet.

The followers of religion and politicians are always in a virtual hope. With politicians a hope the next they will give them a better life and their spiritual leader will help them to deal with life. Practically do they deliver? Then they ensure you deliver. That is you deliver payments to them. The Politician will extort it legally through tax and keep the axe of the tax dangling over your head. The spiritual leader will not ask or extort. They become an addiction which you end up hooked and you just pay. Some charge with fees for their talks, some have collections, most have people who just give out of fear of God and His wrath if they don't pay!

So both Institutions are a Casino where you spin the wheel for a good life or a peaceful way of life. Few reap a jackpot which is basically to entice the rest to keep spinning the wheel. Ending getting ground in a grinding wheel where you are spinning round and round through life mundane routine. Neither peaceful nor happy.

The politicians and the spiritual leaders laugh their way to the Bank. The Politicians will keep giving promises and the Spiritual one giving hope. Hope with anecdotes of 2 plus 2 is 5, and they end up with One Hundred and Ten Million of Indian Rupees that's around a Million Dollars PLUS, if the below article is true.
