Joint Family Poem by Dr.Balnarayana Bandam

A shared social unit living together prolong
More common in India since long
Having an elder to advise younger's to follow
Pleasure and displeasure are all shared with counterglow
For any problem to confront the entire partake
The team, meddle the setback with caretaking
Cause for anxiety is partial and too long for a thing
Thus refrain from wrongdoing, with worth facing
A step above the fact, Hinduism trust all fit in
One family, whether, human, animal, or plant count in
To stay in kind and courtesy as all are intermingle
None can survive without fellow being
Millions of dollars or gold are valueless but for
Another person is at the stand to make it worth for
The earth, fruit, and food giving trees, running river
The air one breath, the sun rays, and moonlights ever
Stand in service to the universe a trait of divine power
In the conviction, all are celestial and to trust forever
Live and be fond of nature with no aim of possession
All constitute as equal in power and survival accession
