Stephen Gill, an Indo-Canandian Punjabi,
Born in India, now Pakistan,
But settled and migrated to Canada
Sings of harmony,
Peace and humanism
In his poetry.
Stephen is a peacenik, a pacifist,
A truce-maker,
Treaties, pacts and alliances
Are the talks of his,
The things of his poetry
And he cannot think of
Barring these.
Songs For Harmony, published in 1993,
Is a book of harmony,
Peace and its consolidation,
Love and its radiance,
Basking in the sun,
Talking of truce and bonding.
He does not write anything
Which but divides,
He does not write to create
Friction, fissure and faction
As his is not a duty to tear and break,
But to join the broken and battered hearts.
Poet's Prayer, If You Lend Me,
To Be, Discriminations, I Have Seen,
Seeking The Dove of Peace, Election Result,
Profile of A Hippie, Nirvana, My Songs,
About War, If There Be A Third World War,
Rays of Harmony, A PH.D. Says,
The poems from it.
The poems are of a type and tenor,
Trend and ideology,
Intermixing art with peace,
Peace with harmony
And love
And singing of humanity
In bonding and sympathy.
