Stephen Gill, Sitting From Canada Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Stephen Gill, Sitting From Canada



Stephen Gill, sitting from Canada,
You thinking about India,
Your home
In the undivided Punjab
Which now is in Pakistan,
Even if do you not,
But the moods taking you to
And you lost in the visions
Of the past,
Of the present and the future,
Where you are,
Where you were one day
Though think you or not,
But think we
While exploring you,
Your mind and heart!

Now perhaps dispelling your
Despair and doubt
And dilemma,
Angst and bewilderment,
Discarding nostalgia and homesickness,
Say we,
You are of where
You are there,
For you now
The whole world is a relative,
Vasudheva kutumbakam,
Stepping out of the doors,
Stephen Gill,
But your heart would have beat
For the motherland
In the beginning!

Live you where you are,
Spreading the message of
Love and humanism,
Peace and harmony,
Sympathy and co-existence,
Sing you the songs
Of peace,
Releasing the doves of peace,
Joining the greenpeace,
Saving the earth from warfare
And pollution,
Making it livable
By being a first rate humanist,
A lover of mankind,
A singer of heart,
An ambassador of peace!
