Nation To A Samanyan [common Man] Poem by Samanyan Lakshminarayanan
Nation To A Samanyan [common Man]
In this arrangement of a nation-
a common man within this arrangement-
what he looses in this arrangement-
is indeed immense.
Even if the nation dots his finger-
gets his vote- to form its administration,
this in no way will compensate his loss
in this arrangement of a nation.
In this arrangement of a nation-
defense becomes a predominant necessity-when this
defense comes across an offense-
an evil war becomes an absolute necessity,
in today's un conventional warfare-
a toiling tired common man could be-
shattered to death in his sleep.
In this arrangement of a nation-today
politician the 'sakuni' is the charioteer,
who steers 'arjuna' the administrator
How this mishap we dont know-
The whereabouts of 'krishna' we dont know
How is 'gita' possible then?
If this arrangement of a nation-could be
done away with-
the least benefit for the common man-
would be a warless world.
The most benefit for the common man -
would be his freedom from 'sakuni'.
In one family there is no unity among sons and brothers. How can one expect a nation, built up of multiple religions, languages, castes and creeds, would remain without any friction among them now and then? But on the whole, behind all these infights, there should be a sense of nationlism and unity among all the citizens for the welfare of the country.
A real concern raising poem. But unarchy and choas were there at all times at all places. We cannot lose heart. We can all strive in the ways we can; as poets of your calibre can expose these evils..........one day; that good day may come....
