BELIEFS
poem by Chan Mongol
November 2 of 2020
No prediction was done for Corona virus and drones;
Neither for atom bombs or other nuclear weapons!
No heads- up was given by God about the recent tsunami;
Neither, how to live with over population, socially!
God said enough against past Nimrud and Pharaohs;
On Sodom, Gomorra and who arrived in Lot's house.
Lieutenants of the god were far, far backward found;
Hearsay prophecies were not preserved, not bookly bound!
No clear foresight of god or Gabriel's messages;
We worship many gods, countries, rulers nowadays.
Beliefs of fears and mysteries stuck firmly in brains;
Also, hungry men every day, think of food or food grain.
Superstitions were never washed out, it was impossible;
We will be picturing mysteries variously as found available.
Applying forces to believe, practice far away matters are vices;
Vices bring divisions, confusions, abuses chaotic crises.
We believe sometimes in something which can be very uncertain;
With mortal lives and universe the mystery will always remain.

I would like to translate this poem
I think freedom dictates that a person believe what they want as long as you dont curtail anothers belief. The problem is when one belief is said to be the correct one. That brings conflict. Personally i think beliefs are a waste of time. We should focus 9n things that affect all people the same which is science. Beliefs are politics and are the cause of our misery
