Carrying Tsunami Within Poem by mamutty CHOLA

CARRYING TSUNAMI WITHIN

These silent souls and sad faces
Live carrying tsunami within in life

Today when I received letter from child hood friend
Reminded me of the days of childhood spent together

What type of people have come and settled
In our midst. They are sowing the seeds of hatred
Among us in the name of nationalism

While departing her telling me to take care
Brought uncontrolled tears in my eyes

After death dead is least concerned about what
would happen to his dead body but our social rites
are worried whether we should bury or cremate
the dead.

We men are buddle of desires while alive in life
But we come to world empty handed and go also
empty handed

In the name of development we are destroying forest
Thereby depriving the birds of their nests and traveler
Their shades

The increasing differences on ground of religion
, language and self interest have become the reasons
for withering our aged old relations of love and
mutual respect in our lives.
