I N G E N U I T Y


Gifted with ingenuity

Men strode to search

For wisdom and proficiency

To reach peak

Of civilization, in pockets.

Blunted by ideologies

Of free and strangled States

And by demagogues

The vision narrowed

In fear of Demon of security

To which the best

Ingenuity driven; to gift

Unconcern of poverty at bay

To devise arsenal

To reduce civilization

And greenery of lives

To dust in minutes.

TO CHILDREN


Dear Future leaders

 

            You are the nectar

            Of life, for men

 

A link between

Present and future

You are the light,

Torch bearers for humanity

The force behind activity

           

Without you, the foundation

Of life, would not in existence.

 

           

            You are the moulder

            Of men thoughts

            Truth and uninhibited

            Things flow from you

            You are the lover and loved

            You call a spade, a spade

            In proper perspective

            With your power of innocence

            And not colour it

                       

As does the grown up:

                        Growing up, remember, these

                        For now, we have forgotten

                        Plunged into general pit fall,  

                        You all need not.

 

           

            As we love a

Flower, fragrance, its delicacy

It should be continuous

And lasting

 

Same manner, let do

Humanity as a whole,

Not fragmentary

Not creating divisions

As through pages of Earth.

 

 

            Every grown up man seeks you

            Every grown up man protects you

            But how come

Men doing it privately?

Have succumbed to passion

Of power and mighty power

            When facing the World.

 

                        In you children

Love is entrapped in abundance

In you, division not exists

For that is nature

For that is life of truth

For that is what it should be.

 

            Instead of protecting you all

The world is at precipice of handing over

A culture of high technology

To decimate the very life

The Earth has provided

By incomprehensible actions.

 

 

 Amidst, gloomy clouds,

Let there be sweet voices of you all,

Voices of innocence and brave

Love and infectious smiles

To extinguish the invincible

Flame of power

And bring harmony and peace

To live, thrive, and languish

For long, long, long ……………….
