Let Us Do What Our Ancestors Couldn't Do Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Let Us Do What Our Ancestors Couldn't Do

Rating: 5.0


Let us do,
what our ancestors couldn't do,
let us forget our inherited views,
let us bring peace in the world,
let us gather some courage,
and get rid of that,
which may lead the world,
to save the resources,
spent on preparing weapons,
for the so called holy wars,
to fulfill our foolish dreams,
of the promised lands.
Let us use the resources,
to find a new land,
somewhere in space,
for shifting our population,
to a distant planet,
whereat we can grow,
wheat, barley and rice,
apples and oranges,
let us shift our animals too,
on another planet,
where there are oceans,
mountains and rivers,
where there is atmosphere,
having oxygen, hydrogen and nitrogen,
where there are forests,
might be having some strange animals,
some unseen plants and green trees,
where there is a sun and a few moons,
where days and years might be longer than ours,
we shall not take much time,
to become used to,
to a new environment,
where clouds rise and rain,
and the only thing we shall carry from the earth,
a bikini beauty of charming women,
for something universal,
you know it's love.

Instead of wasting our resources and money on useless pursuits like strengthening our arsenals for killing our fellow men in the name of holy wars or to increase our sway on others, let us use them for development. Science and technology can be used for making or discovering other planets congenial for human life where our excess population can be accommodated in peace and prosperity! Such feats, our ancestors couldn't accomplish, but we can perhaps turn such dreams into reality! Peace and love is the dire need of our time. Somehow we should seek it for all humanity! A great write on a state of accomplishment beyond time! A 10

I hope that some day we colonize beyond Earth. I just hope that we have grown by then and create new worlds with peace and respect for each other and the planets we borrow

In outer space there is such a planet where we can all have a new start, where love blooms in abundance and happiness is a new beginning, we have learnt hard lessons from the old planet, all the mistakes we made we will put right for everlasting peace and love to be supreme! Brilliant write!

Very amazing and thought provoking sharing is done definitely. Bringing peace in to this world we should do the same duty which ancestors could not do in past. Creating a new environment is definitely necessary. Finely drafted poem is shared.10
