Hope Of A New Era Poem by Gautam Sen

An empty soul is sent everyday
on earth- our eternal abode
like a break of a dawn,
smiles appear on those faces
who are all blessed with new blossoms
with promises of sweet fragrance
for the days to come.

As a gardener involves himself
with his care to nurture
every flower in a garden,
our care at every point
for this newborn is needed
to keep streaming his life’s fountain.

No one arrives here
with any preconceived thoughts
no ego, no pride, just ready
for a ride through a hazardous journey.
What we ought to do is
feeding his mind with views
that we have gathered from the life;
like a potter putting
a lump of soggy soil to shape
of his own idea, own choice.

Let every newborn know
what the permeation to life
on earth does actually mean,
the acts that bring our mind peace
and the facts that hamper
our souls to acquire bliss.
Let us fill these empty vessels
with all eternal values of a human life,
the sole purpose of living
with a pleasant motto has to be
made very clear to them.

Once a grooming mind gets
enough mental resources
properly fed by we predecessors,
it starts blooming to shower
its worth to the entire mankind,
based on a new-era philosophy
discovered within.

What on earth gives us scorching pain,
what all makes us run for a gain –
let all these be abhorred by them,
exerting an all out effort by
these new genre of human life
to help God to believe that
life can be continued further
on this earth – his lovely creation.
