Sight of various sorts of flowers brings elation,
When anyone treads into a garden.
It makes me wonder why not the same occurs,
when we come athwart different populace?
Caste, creed, clan, continent and color may differ,
Yet, pleasure, pain, laughter and tears stay same all over.
Why is it one refuses to accept this basic fact?
Instead, goes into a shell or rolls over for an impact.
Gone are the days, with act of service thought of care,
Shower of kindness were, but now, none of these are in air.
Gripped in ego, grudge betrayal and violence,
Seldom one wins, nor allows other to live in peace
These days how many really pay heed?
about give and take, live and let live in deed,
Why can’t we exist harmoniously together?
Flinging away all our differences on all borders.
After all, we are the same citizens from colony of earth,
Sharing the same sky above and land beneath.
