One World Nation

a poem by Ramesh T A

The Eastern Super Power had a great affinity for the most heavily populated India
And a great longing for its dream of creating One World Nation-
A high ideal behind India’s foreign policy of non-alignment,
That supports the principles of non-interference, non-aggression and co-existence.
Without international peace and freedom the One World Dream cannot be realised;
So, the trio, Yugoslavia, Egypt and India interfered in the international politics.

The non-aligned trio had the support of hundred nations to adios cold war;
Then decolonisation, freedom movements and anti-apartheid gained full support.
Thirty years of this movement’s efforts fetched the expected fruits;
Taking India’s idea Russia headlong plunged into the work of world peace;
And America’s satellite nations stopped ridiculing India’s non-alignment policy.

War is not the solution to settle scores among the nations of the world;
The cause of the war clearly speaks about the differences of individuals;
The advocates of attitudes are the intruders of cunning propaganda
That distances the nations/individuals with differences of attitudes
Breeding only cold wars and leading towards world wars as before.

The path of peace is non-violence and of chaos is violence;
Peace and freedom alone develop love and unity here ever;
Fear and control only develop hatred and splits everywhere;
Wisdom lies in the knowledge and love of truth in the world;
Like non-attachment non-alignment is the best policy for the nations;
So, non-violence, and non-alignment only promotes world unity and peace.
