The privileged amnesic in luxury
The poor passionate
for equality
Though the wolf is wild
The lamb deserves life dignified
The Sun radiates truth objective
The moon pours peace stunning
Truth appears in green
Along with your fellow humans
Love
the plants, animals
and the Earth in the same breath .
CO-EXISTENCE
War has been in man’s
heart
Since the first dawn
He slays to survive and surmount
He confounds his being.
Peace too prevailed in man’s bosom
Since the first dawn
He fosters
love and altruism
finds bliss in his being.

Noble Suffering
Siddhartha searched for Enlightenment
He changed cruelty into kindness
Like
a swan that separated milk from water
Jesus sought the
kingdom of god
He forbore crucifixion
A rose whose heart pierced by a thorn
Lincoln fought to abolish slavery
He was shot for his reform
Like a jasmine drenched in blood
Gandhi melted
the hearts of the lead
When a bullet pierced him, he prayed
A chrysanthemum fell in silence
Theresa became Mother to the destitute
Like a nectar to the one in the throes
of death
Mandela and
Aung San Suu kyi suffered solitary for the people
Like
stars shining defiantly in the
dark.

Questions Endless
Why butchery mutual?
Beheading the fellow humans?
Bombing the mud houses?
Gunning down girls and boys?
Spraying bullets into artists?
Trampling flowers ?
Why do we see vacuous hearts?
Dead souls?
Living corpses??
