Through The Legend. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

The land of Bodhi sathva the enlightened one
Where non violence was preached as a mission
Where desires were asked to restrain and limit
There was a period the great emperor regretted
The warfare he ended himself and stood for peace
I mean the war of Kalinga where big loss of life
The triumphant war and related glory but missed
The great peace that is entitled to the world
The Great wisdom shown by Ashoka the great
Emperor of Mourya dynasty the history.
The regret the emperor shown and stood for peace
Non violence the essence of life he proclaimed
The people followed and expectations increased
But slowly things changed history continues
Where the world now stands and pages of history
A thought for a future that must be peace
Not in individual minds, but all over the world
Wonderful the world to listen the word Peace.
