Today’s dire need is world peace but
World pieces are all that we see
The countries are brimming with chaos
There’s no peace anywhere
Neither within nor without!
Each state wishes to be independent
Disrupting thereby the smooth running of a country
Sorrowfully, India is the worst hit victim of this cancer
You have a Gujarati, a Punjabi, a Maharashtrian but
Not an Indian!
This is ‘mine’ that is ‘yours’
Is all that we usually hear
‘Ours’ seems to have disappeared from the dictionary
Only ’y’ has to be removed from ‘yours’ and
A massive stumbling block
In the path of world progress will dwindle away!
We are the world citizens so
Let the torch of fire be carried forth
As the world peace torch and
Not as a weapon
For burning down public and private property
Or even human beings alive
What a heinous act it is!
How can anyone ever be so very atrocious?
Advanced knowledge has given birth to
Sophisticated deadly lethal weapons
They are toys for the duped
To terrorize the innocent
It’ll tear the world apart
That’s not what we want!
Let’s forsake our differences
For a better world and life
Following the principle of
‘Live and let live!’

A very serious issue penned poetically ! Such poems and thoughts are the need of the day and I compliment the poet for her expression of them so movingly .
how can anyone claim to proclaim peace when all the countries of the world are rushing to arm themselves with the deadliest weapons they can invent?
it seems as though the world is basking under the shadows of a third world war that will wash off all nations of the world it is time world politicians got together and dealt with this fearsome aspect
well-written eye opener. I hope the politicians will take time to read this
