THE WORLD TODAY
This
round globe that swirls around
With
a swarm of life in it abound.
An
unravished beauty filled all over,
This
heavenly ball that spins
Is
the abode of life for ages-uncounted.
This
round globe that swirls around
With
humans and animals and birds and trees.
All
life forms in equality, it shoulders
Encompassing
them in its exquisite folds
Recognizing
no barriers what so ever.
Yet,
living on her pretty shell, what is that we do today?
Raging
and fuming with hatred and violence,
We
are thirsty for the blood of our fellow men,
Waging
wars for reasons unclear,
Ravaging
the harmony of the world around.
Yet,
living on her pretty shell, what is that we do today?
Building
boulders of brutality and aggression,
Creating
rocks of cruelty and violence,
Carnages
of humanity and life
Insurmountable
by the frail world around.
Oh,
man! Standing upright on mother earth,
Do
try to value the purpose that she had stood for, so long.
Break
those barricades of violence and hatred
Smash
those fences separating you, by creed and color,
Stop
the massacre of men in the name of religion
And
let the religion of love and fraternity rule the world of today!
