Silly People
Oh how silly they are…When they prostrate themselves at the feet of an idol,Which neither talks nor moves and just sits idle,And which was made by the man himself.Then is the idol their God?Oh how silly they are…When they bow to the sun and the moon,Which never remain steady,And which rise and set.Then is the moon or the sun their God?Oh how silly they are…When they worship the trees,Which wither without water,And which wilt when old.Then is the tree their God?Oh how silly they are…When they bow to a man who has a wit,Who dies when he is old,And who shivers with cold.Then is the old man their God?Oh how silly they are…When they believe soil is their God,Which is depleted in its fertility,And which requires manures to enhance growth.Then is soil their God?For me…The God is one…The God has no relations…The God is powerful…The God is eternal…
