Thousand times I told you
I am a human child
Belongs to the human society
Thousand times I told you
Thousands of criminal, rapist
Black marketeer and power monger
Our society bears along with
Millions of people who believe
In love, family, nation and
The other members of our society
Indifferent in cast, color, language
Festivals and religion
It's strictly a human society
We form a Government
We pay for our police
And security administrations
Who give us security with various manner
To save the individual and the state
From enemy inside and outside the boundary
Thousand times I told
I am a human child
Belongs to a human society
Where believes are different
Customs are different
Rituals are different
But yet we belong to a nation
The nation is India
Our foods are of different tastes
Our choice of foods are different
Biologically we categorise ourselves as
Herbivores, carnivores, omnivores
We kill other animals to meet our food
Meat we get from different animals
Dog, snake, squirrel, goat, lamb
Donkey, cow, buffalo etc.
We kill animals to eat their meat
Some animals yet are furious
Enjoy human flesh also
Animals also of different category
Herbivores, carnivores, omnivores
No problem we stay together with animals
Criminals, rapists, thieves, bankrupts,
Black marketeers, so and so
Our Government we form to handle the problems
Which go against the millions and millions
Common member of our society
Who build the nation, who love their family
Who join festivals to celebrate the colorful
Human soul full of good wishes and holy spirit
Why do you come to divide our faith
To divert dependence on a particular segment
Of our society
Who are you to dictate people to accept
Of your selected regiments and to refuse whom you dislike
Few days ago you were the beggars to collect our support
Beg door to door indifferent in color and creed
You committed to bring well days better to prior years
But after achieving the chair you have come out from your disguise
Cultivating so many trauma to make us killer
Cultivating hate to suspect our neighbor
Your intention not to build a good nation
Your intention to divide our society
Your intention to crack our strength of protesting together
By the name of religion
By the name of food habit
By the name of caste, creed and community
We have known already you the greedy power monger
Want to make us
Your obedient slave by the name of your useless God
Who actually been created by a poet in his years old epic
Its the time to warn you
We the common people want to live in peace and tranquility
We the common people everyday to survive labor hard
Fight against all adversities of criminal activities
The misuse of power and muscle of the powerful men
Who belong to our society, our family, our neighborhood
You give us good administration to punish criminals
Guard us to sleep well, assist us to earn more
But don't try to make us divide
Don't try to make us violent
Don't try to accelerate anarchy!

This is a clarion call to all thinking people to rise up and fight against all sectarian interests and dogmas! The common man craves for peace and harmony. He wants to be freed from the clutches of tyranny and to enjoy the freedom to think and live independently! A powerful write!
Your poem is an excellent message for peace. The question is- do we really have to fight for peace? What means peace? ''Freedom from disturbance; tranquillity.''(Oxford Dictionary) Another question is- how can we live peacefully as long as we have to fight? I think that humans do not need stress, but they are chronically stressed and they live in a decompensated state of being. They cannot feel this peace inside, any longer, even they need it so desperately.
Yes, I do admit fighting and crying for peace been coexisting on the same chord. This is a common phenomena of human soul. Just you think of centripetal and centrifugal force actively exists simultaneously within an object. Generally common people try to live happily and they think happiness is peace. Peace flows under this current. Poverty and sufferings, common peoples care less if they get next moment as a happy moment of life. Just this much is sufficient to make themselves pleased, no other disturbances imposed by the other forces not their liking. Thank you much. Regards, Pranab k c
a poem for the common man to listened too instead of being used and manipulated? ........superbly written.
Beautiful poem capturing the human existence in struggle and survival of the fittest. Ty for sharing.
Thank you poet for your responsible interaction with the thoughts transmitted through PH. Live long to write more. Thank you again.
We, common men, want to live peacefully in our land of a distinct faith and harmony.. Though 90% of our prayers are not answered by all Gods of various religions, we still go to them for moral support. What is the point of calling someone/s dear Gods as useless? Is there any useful Gods in the heaven and the earth? The Anger of a common Indian man is well depicted in this poem, even to the extend of insulting our home grown religion which is the oldest as well as the scientifically proven religion of the world.. Thank you Pranab K for your outburst which holds the peace and love as the scuff holding of the society.! !
