Acknowledgement---- This Poem composed by the writer (Self)is based on the English translation of the Original in Sanskrit provided by BAPS SRI SWAMINARAYAN MANDIR TRUST London as found in ATHARVANA VEDA and other scriptures in HINDUISM to be able to understand the oldest living scripture in its proper perspective.The writer is not certain whether this writing in the form of the poem serves its purpose.Any inadequacy in the same is entirely due to deficiency on the part of this writer for which I seek your pardon.
We are the living Creatures
Of the same Lord as in above
Our skins may be coloured
Fair, Dark or Tanned.
We may speak in different tongues
Show Faith in different beliefs
Belong to different cultures
Or destined to live as Man or Woman.
We still share the same home
The Earth beneath on which we roam
We are born in the same planet
Covered by the same Skies above.
Gazing at the same stars
Breathing the same Air
Our needs are also common
And our blood is Red in us all.
We all Born,Live and Die
Equally ignorent of the Life beyond
Each with a mission to complete
We live our life as destined by God.
Whence have We come and
Whither are We going?
Quite frankly We do not know
We seek answers in the psalm of life.
As We live,We must live together
And pray in Mass to our Lord above
Though Singly to live we may be able
Collectively alone can we survive.

A wonderful poem very apt for todays situation.How happy and blessed the world would be if only every individual realises this, specially the power hungry politicians and religious bigots? Then ther would be no fight for any "janmabhoomi"? Am I right?
Dear Sulo,
Thanks for Ur feedback.You are absolutely right.But then there is a saying "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride".I suppose we all are destined to live our lives as at present.Nonetheless in my view we should continue expressing our thoughts in lines as I attempt to do in my poems and I will continue to do so till my judgement day as destined by God.I have posted a number of poems in my blog with similar thoughts process and I am sure you will like them. Go thro them and share Ur thoughts.
