It’s but natural
for man to be concerned,
worried about violence
all over the world
It’s natural for him
to worry and agonize
over future of the world order,
of world peace….
Bur more concerned should he be
of violence in own country
in his own state
violence in his own district
in the neighbourhood…
First and foremost though
his concern should be
for the lack of peace in his
own mind and heart
Without the first step
world peace would be
like a flying bird
Ever evasive, out of reach!

ReplyDeleteYour poetry conveys deep thoughts but in a very simple language which I really appreciate.
ReplyDeleteAgree with your thought. If everybody focuses on his inner self/ own neighborhood/ region, the world will automatically become much more peaceful.
Thank you so much Deepa!
