We Are Posted Here Poem by Gajanan Mishra

We are posted here
In different positions
By the Almighty,
Not for quarrel,
Not for war,
But to maintain peace,
But to cultivate knowledge,
But to stay in truth,
But to love each other.
We are posted here
To show mercy
With compassion.
We are not here to kill
Or destroy one another
But to acquire permanent
Virtue of this life.
We are nectar here
We the brothers and sisters,
Sons and daughters of this earth.
Our bodies are different- true,
Our food, clothing, shelters are
Different - true,
But our breath, our components
Of life like air, water, light
Etc, etc are the one and the same.
