Asia, the most populous continent
birth place of mainstream religions
rich in natural resources
sharing a unique philosophical tradition
that shuns sheer materialism..
Let us today through words, travel
to the little land in big Asia
that has survived many trials, tribulations
the cute little land of Tibet!
Tibet, with its own brand
of Buddhism, medicine
clothes, handicrafts, culture, literature
that people proudly proclaim and practice
even in exile!
The noble son, Dalai lama, spiritual leader
of this peace loving daughter of Asia
won the Nobel peace prize
opposing use of violence
even while struggling for liberation!
Here is a land ravaged- yet whose people
march on relentlessly towards goal
refusing to allow its spirits to be broken!

DeleteThank you for your wordings. It speaks and touches the very corner of Tibetans' emotions. Being Tibetan, it is difficult fight, fight with a powerful Chinese Government, fight with a continuous growing economy which others are hesitating, fight to keep our identity even while in exile, fight to keep the fight going.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your thoughts. I have always admired the way Tibetans fought for their rights with resilience. Happy you resonated with my poem.
