Divided after death

How could one distinguish soil

From which humans are crafted

And into which they result

When soul filled pots are broken

Yet I see it before me

In inelegant graves where

Corpses sleep so elegantly

In ashes, one with the soil

Even which, is divided

Into Christian, Hindu

Muslim, Parsi and others

Do these decaying corpses

Visit temples and churches

And grope rosary daily?

Being divided before birth

Kept divided after death!

A/N- When I took a walk today, I realised, that even graveyards are differentiated on the basis of religion
