Seeking Progress Poem by Perveiz Ali

Thousands of professions taken to lead into progress,
Real or abstract in nature but all geared to address.

Fostering the environment towards equity and justice,
The pre-requisite for all nations, create development basics.

Poets also test their best through frazzled conditions,
To breed enlightenment in public mental functions.

Eradication of poverty, disparity and all social evil,
Noble goal of the social poet to defeat the Devil.

Communal harmony, peaceful existence desired,
Shunning war and creating stabilized life is required,

Elevating spirituality in place of fanatic ethnicity,
Heavenly goals established by Him in authenticity.

Us humans must learn to foster love not war,
The edict was long ago given, follow that star.
