Live In A World Of Strife And Still Think Of It As One Family! Poem by Savita Tyagi

Live In A World Of Strife And Still Think Of It As One Family!

Rating: 5.0


How can we adapt to this mysterious principle
Of oneness of universe,
So widely spoken by all leaders in religion
As well as in politics and economics?
Spoken on all social levels
But never believed to be followed.
Really what were our ancients thinking?
Live in a world of strife and still think of it as one family!
So I ponder on it and this is what I stumble upon!

We all expect fights to happen in family
And we expect all to make it up
Simply because it is a family.
Like a river, identity of family is of a continuous change
And so are worldly relationships.
So when you think of world wars
And peace treaties among our leaders
Think of a fight broken among family members
Of greater hierarchy!
Few crack members of family insinuate fight
And the world goes topsy-turvy!
Sooner or later they come to their senses
And talk about peace and
Go on living as leaders of world peace!
But not before millions are made
Homeless and orphaned or
Buried in nameless graves!

Your poem eloquently depicts the sad reality of the world we are living in; if only we could expand our consciousness to elevate us to higher dimensions; a voice within each of us, whispers- the change is going to be for the best.

The naked truth and reality of life is beautifully depicted in your poem! We always face a battle even we are in family… Like a river, identity of family is of a continuous change and so are worldly relationships…very insightful…….thanks dear madam for sharing…10

i like Rajnish's idea (stated in his comment) that Savita is using irony, but i did not think so. i'd HOPE SO, but i just thought she was on drugs! (i still 'love' her) and i am about to put her poem into my/our February 2018 'showcase', found at this link on PH: [[i'm not sure if she wants adopt or adapt in line one]] Thanks, Savita, for offering this poem. (to be continued) .............

Whole criteria about 'one world one family' seems to have been busted- with terse irony- in the poem. I am pleased to add it into the list of my favourite poems. Thanks a lot for sharing. Few crack members of family insinuate fight And the world goes topsy-turvy! Sooner or later they come to their senses.... (But not before creating so much turmoil)
