Ashok Chakravarthy Tholana - Vibrant Musings (a collection of poems)

ARE WE NOT... We came across aggressions We came across conflicts, We came across brutalities, We came across ruinous wars, We came across communal fury, We came across starvation deaths, We came across repressions, We came across coercions, But, we failed to stop the tragedy. Outwardly but... Often... we speak of love Often... we speak of peace, ... talk of a civilized approach, ... boast of humane concern, Inwardly but... We try to ignore and avoid To think in a right perspective. Oh human! How come...? If we hide our inner-self vision And try to hog the limelight With words... devoid of action. Are we justifying ourselves With our outwardly nature That always tries And always fool others Unaware that... Are we not fooling our inner-self? 39 |
