May A Thousand Flowers Bloom Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
May A Thousand Flowers Bloom
Good and bad are the two sides of a coin
There is a little devil in everybody
But our education culture and upbringing
May enable us to overcome his temptations.
Sure, heaven on earth is too farfetched
But earth is livable as the devil in us is subdued.
Let us hope every child grows up
Learning to respect every other being
May all of us live a life worth emulating
By at least our next generation
Try to eschew greed, lust and violence.
Heaven may not bloom on earth
But, may a thousand flowers bloom;
Devil may still raise his head here or there
But, let peace prevail and love light our lives;
We may not be able sate hunger of everyone
But may we feed at least one hungry soul.
Thank You, Dilipji. Every human-being need to follow the words of Jesus Christ, "Love thy neighbor ".
