Echoes beyond the Gun Fire
One war shook us to the core,
Left us trembling, fear more.
It opened eyes, broke the lies
Revealed the truth we long disguise.
How vital now is kindness shown,
A helping hand when we are alone.
In times of pain, through grief
We learned the worth of a gentle life.
In the darkest hour, hands reached out,
No place for hate, no room for doubt.
A stranger’s pain became our own,
And kindness in our hearts was sown.
But, why in peace do we turn away,
When silent tears beg us to stay?
We pass the weak with hardened eyes,
Ignore their wounds, their unheard cries.
When hardship knocks at every door,
We turn to kindness, rich and poor.
We whisper prayers, recall His name.
But in the calm of normal days,
Do we still walk in kinder ways?
Do we pause for the helpless souls,
Or pass them by; with our hollow souls.
Today we speak of empathy,
Of kindness, love and humanity.
But aren’t we those who shaped this land,
With hardened hearts and selfish hands.
For us, it was a battle, a fight we could see
But for the weak, the poor, the speechless, it’s their daily plea.
Everyday they face a war, a silent strife
Crushed beneath our apathy!!
We see them there, yet do we see?
A begging hand, empty stomachs?
If we can love when skies are gray,
Why not show warmth every day?
Why wait for storms to make us see?
That kindness is the way to be!!

DIVIDED MINDS
Divisions created in the hearts and mind,
Blurring the real picture and making people blind.
The wall of religion separating humankind.
We all are alike, but the internal filters of bias are keeping us behind.
Breathing the same air, the same soil is feeding… with the construction of differences, humanity is receding!
The cost of hate is burdening the innocents.. The wall of religion is blindingus to life’s true essence!
Nature needs harmony to flourish, People need people to nurture and nourish.
The boundaries we draw are just superficial, It’s humanity that makes ustruly special.
Still, the divisions of mind continue to grow, Leading to a world where kindness moves slow.

TRUE FRIENDSHIP
True friends are the ones
Who support us
Whenever their help do we need
Guide us to the right path
Whenever we are filled with anger and greed
They will always follow
No matter where we lead
When we cry
There is always their support by
When we shout at them unkind
They just do not mind
When we are lost ,exhaust
being the boss
They will fill up with happiness
Our enthusiasm loss
No matter wherever now we are
Whoever we are
Never forget their contribution
Because behind our successful journey
It was their patient smile.
