Another wall
another stupid call
shackling human race
curbing freedom with a mace…
Fanaticism, narrow nationalism
terrorism, fundamentalism
savagery raises its ugly heads
as maniacs weave the threads…
They are buried deep in history’s dustbin
though for a while they overwhelm the kin
Christ, Gandhi, Mandela and King
though riddled with bullets, hearts they win…
Human spirit, free and indomitable
flies like a bird, uncontrollable
wars and turbulence, transient aberrations
peace and brotherhood, its lasting passions…
Why earth alone, the entire universe
since the dawn of creation
man’s imagination has explored the unknown
his wanderlust for the space too has grown…
Nature, bountiful, flows through the whole
boundaries and barriers, unknown to the soul
through love and munificence man flutters into happiness
through hatred and selfishness, he sinks into barrenness…
