LETTER TO GOD

 ____________God,

Hi god. I left the place blank up there. I just don't know what to write there. Are you a friend of mine, then i shall say 'dear', or, are you that authoritative personnel, then I shall say 'respected'. But I really don't know who you are.

But wait, why am I saying all this here? This letter is not for knowing you, no its not for that. I am writing this because I am angry. No, don't look so surprised, its right. I am angry at you.

I am angry because you lied to me. You told me that this world is a beautiful place. And you know what, that's the biggest lie I've ever heard.

Before sending me to this world, you stood with me in the balcony of your palace. And from there, you showed this world to me. But that was too far away from this world.

I saw from there how blue the skies were. But what I see here is only grey skies.

I saw from there that the world was covered in green. But what I see everyday is less and less of that green.

I can still bear with this small lies, but then you told me how good the people here were. And that is the biggest of all lies.

The people here have made me run before I could even crawl. They have made me jump for that fruit before I could even stand.

No god, if you didn't know this before, I am telling this to you now. The people here don't fit your description at all.

So please god, I just have one request to make.

Please don't lie to others whom you'd send into this world after me.

And god, please take me back to that palace of yours from where, this world looks like a beautiful place.

Your sweet little child from last 10 years.
