If Borders Bound No Nations Poem by Aniruddha Pathak
If Borders Bound No Nations
Imagine if borders sealed no nations,
Nor yet were there narrow honours to guard,
And men were free from nationalist notions
Which as the time passed were cemented hard;
Why, imagine there was no religion,
Edicts, decrees, diktats nor any codes,
Humanity, one whole hoary legion,
And one common code ran across all modes.
Borderless as live birds bound by no chains,
As man lived ere he lost his innocence,
As birds migrate freely to warm terrains,
Needing passport, visa, nor yet licence;
No flag to fight for, kill or to die for,
And peace prevailed on planet free from war.

Wow, what a wonderful Sonnet. It captures the ever elusive right of mankind... freedom.. Brilliantly and beautifully penned. Onto my Poem List.
This 2010 poem, which I too liked, had not found much attention. I feel good you read it and found it worthy enough. It is unfortunate that a poet has no idea about the readership of his poem (only about comments/feedback) . Thanks indeed.
This poem has not been translated into any other language yet.
I would like to translate this poem

Your first line, Aniruddha Sir! I cite here: Imagine if borders sealed no nations, your last line: And peace prevailed on planet free from war. So true! A mesmerized Sonnet, beautifully worded. Thank you so much for sharing, Aniruddha Sir. A 10 Topscore beacuse of its theme of PEACE. I have enjoyed reading this precious poetry.
And for what i wrote underneath, I must also thank you very much, dear poet Sylvia Francis Chan. Two good poets appreciating my poem...
