Peace

a poem by Natarajan K

‘O’ Lord!! please tell me if there is peace in any country
For everywhere I see people who are only angry
Birds flying around form their own species group
There is no land in the country without any groove

Animals of different species group do not live with one another
Even people like us do not understand the merit of living together
People see for their own caste, clan and creed
For even trees bear fruits only according to their seed

A bunch of papers when slipped become separate wither and fall
For “UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL”

Minds and hearts can open with ease
To very, very little keys
Two of these are “I thank you” and “If you please”
All that they need is only peace

When struggle comes there falls the night
The day dawns with peace as sunlight.
