  A desire to excel

User Rating:

10.0 /10

  Imagine there was no country
No borders to protect
No temptation to destroy 'others'
World as a single country
Wonder what to feel proud of!

Imagine there was no religion
No selfish feeling around
No reason to diffuse hate
Humanity as a single religion
Wonder what to die for!

Imagine there was no caste or sect
No superiority or inferiority feelings
No incentive for discrimination
Everyone with a desire to excel
Wonder what can disunite us!

(We extend our deepest condolence to all those who lost their lives in the Mumbai (India) terror attack on 26 November,2008. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the victims' families. Lets stand united and pray together. Lets act towards a peaceful and prosperous world.)

Imagine indeed. This is a wonderful sentiment that evokes thoughts of the great John Lennon, who like you, wanted such a world. Nicely done.

A timely write...reminding we are just humans...the social animals...we cannot survive without each others help and love....still so many things differentiate us, so much divide exists between us! With deep condolences to the mumbai terror victims!

Felt pain when was attacked Mumbai by culprit spirit!
Sorrowful is, religions are not responsible for hostility! The people, who using religion for their socio- political interests, they are doing inhumane things. If religions erase out from society yet hatred hostility would not stop!
In religio-history we see hostility bcoz of ‘causes’ and ‘effects’. Sometime ‘causes’ stay behind the screen but ‘effects’ flashes.
We hav been living in trouble since beginning so far. It is our wisdom to find out peaceful solutions.
10+ for yaur peace love.

For centuries populace has been aspiring for this to happen; Call it Ramarajya or Thomas More's utopia. Is it possible? let us hope. Good poem......10

Imagination is the seed that sprouts and spreads into a forest. A very well penned poem with a mission. You think like me. Build up your poetry on this base. God bless you.
