Trashy entry #2 THE ETERNAL FORCE

This post is written by immensely talented ANEESHA KHANNA who's presently a student. Her writings include several beautifully crafted poems that have simple language yet run way too deep when her thoughts are revealed. Trashy Blogs thanks her and wishes her all the luck for her future!   


I don’t see him as a man

With powers infinite

Nor do I see him as a magical light

He is not someone I need to please

Fasting and spending hours in the temple

But mind filled with greed

I don’t see him as a goal that I got to achieve

Nor do I need to climb mountains

To prove that yes “I do believe!”

I don’t see him as the power

That can free the guilt of my sins

Nor do I see him as a statue

Who needs to be honored with animal offerings

I see him as a force

The force within

That gives me power to change anything

I see him as a spark

That ignites a deep fire on the inside

The strength that guides

And never lets me take the wrong side

I see him as a potential

That we all need to realize

The potential to do good to the world

Without expecting any prize

I see him as the courage

The courage to rectify my sins

And help me learn

To rise above

Caste, creed and sin.
