United Nations Day,2017 Poem by Dr John Celes

The only planet where man lives - the Earth
Is turning hostile, day by day for all;
Unsafe and insecure for every birth,
'Tis time all nations joined to stop this fall.

The UN born in nineteen forty-five
Has kept the peace across the globe somehow;
'Tis strange how flora, fauna keep alive
Despite some wars and hatred, lack of love.

World's peace although fragile must be stable;
All nations have a duty towards this;
Through force and weapons, peace none enable;
The world is one and people all want bliss.

The world's resources must be free and pure;
All lives are precious sans frontiers or seas;
The health of nations, people need a cure;
Diversity of earth must usher peace.

Let leaders of all nations take a pledge;
We need to feed, clothe, shelter every soul;
No nations' armies must remain on edge;
To maintain peace, the UN has a role.

Make world afree of bombs of any kind;
The health of mankind, literacy are prime;
Let's foster love and help it people bind;
All Natural furies could increase with time!

So, waste not sums in armaments anew;
The quality of air and water's first;
Keep pollution within human purview;
No war should render lives to starve and thirst.
"Empower the UN to maintain world-peace"
Dedicated to the United Nations on this day from India
