Temple and Mosque

Define what a temple is, define a mosque to me
What do we need to build today, can anyone tell me

Of what use will be a temple
To one who spends chilling nights on roads
Of what use will be a mosque
To one on whose back is sack of heavy loads

Define what a temple is, define a mosque to me
What do we need to build today, can anyone tell me

She doesn’t know what to cook for lunch and dinner
Her husband’s purse over the days have become thinner
Gold for her are the vegetables on display
Tough its getting to see through each day


Define what a temple is, define a mosque to me
What do we need to build today, can anyone tell me

When will he get a job the question doesn’t let him sleep
In this quagmire how will he his sanity keep
Directionless he wanders, aimlessly, fruitlessly
He has to earn for depends entirely on him is his family

Define what a temple is, define a mosque to me
What do we need to build today, can anyone tell me

Unfailingly he rises each day before the sun rise
Only then to get a seat in bus his chances rise
Invisible wars in office throughout the day he fights
Only then two pricey school seats for his children he finds

Define what a temple is, define a mosque to me
What do we need to build today, can anyone tell me

Deadlines to be met, targets to be achieved
Facts and figures only to be believed
Where nights don’t count for there its day
There is sunshine, the corporate makes hay

Define what a temple is, define a mosque to me
What do we need to build today, can anyone tell me

A first day first show and there is a huge crowd
All hail the hero and they hail him loud
No one asks who is sitting besides
In entertainment no one any religious rules abides

Define what a temple is, define a mosque to me
What do we need to build today, can anyone tell me

On icy peaks they stand holding guns in their hand
Driven by ulterior aim to protect motherland
The bullet doesn’t ask their identities to them
Building an own house does matter to them

Define what a temple is, define a mosque to me
What do we need to build today, can anyone tell me

His crops ends up in flood when he waits for rain
Who understands the poor farmers pain
Ending his life burdened under loans
Countless such in agony they moan

Define what a temple is, define a mosque to me
What do we need to build today, can anyone tell me

We need more roads we need more dams
We need in country more lush green farms
We need health care we need better fare
We need the government to take more care

We do need a mosque, we do need a temple
No violence in thier names, we have had them ample!
