Making Sense of the World

If you are a believer,

you have your reasons.

Most likely,

you learned from your family.

The world is full of griefs,

often hard to make sense of,

so, we invented the Gods,

Anyway, for me,

science has been enough,

so smooth or rough,

I don't summon God.

Many things are hard to grasp,

why qualified people are dismissed,

and criminals are elected.

A liquor seller uncle

gets rich to build temples?

Why terrorists shoot

when you are savoring nature?

Why your loved country,

joins war, becomes gory?

Why a father gets mad

and murders own kids?

Why cherubic little children,

fall dead from a plane?

Despite all these riddles,

I don’t want to feel confused,

and ask or blame God,

for I know, we live,

in a world of gambles,

snakes and ladders,

randomness, entropy,

Brownian movement

of random collisions,

and I get my answers.

Melancholic it may seem,

we are naïve, if we think

all will go well,

that we will be served fairness,

and our journey will be

cakewalk or carnival,

that's just delusion.

We must develop resilience,

and learn to 'let go'.
