Border Poem by Bharati Nayak

Border

Rating: 4.4


Oh Dear brother
See,
How a border
separates
A land from land
People from people

BORDER IS NOT REAL
It is imaginary
It is drawn by man
It is for divide
But see the breeze
Can the border
Stop it to blow across
Can the border
Stop the sunlight
To illuminate across

Like breeze
Like sunlight
Love transcends
It is never confined
It is not limited.


Oh brothers
Come
Let us hold hands
Let us make
This world
One country.

you speak the language of Plato and the likes of sir Thomas....one can only wish that wishes would grow a mane and run like horses... :) until that happens it will remain a pipe dream of us poets and those visionaries who by default are a bit removed from reality. you have shuddered in poetic grace and cast away the yolk of cleavage in these few lines... lovely liked

Thank you so much for your lovely comment.When poets unite, when their sentiments echo a free spirit 'when their hearts meet, they form a country, distinct, which has no border and no lines separating them on the basis of citizenship, caste, creed, colour or religion.

Borders are not made on the land, borders are made in the hating hearts.

Like breeze Like sunlight Love transcends It is never confined It is not limited. A lovely write on a sensitive theme, the cause of all wars and root of hatred too. You have captured the reader since top to bottom flawlessly. Loved the theme, its growth and the stream of evolution too. Regards. Subhas
