Non-Violence Poem by Vaishnavi Singh

Non-Violence

Rating: 5.0


The mountains screamed to wake the sea,
The trees stood to be silent,
The sun came to give light,
But the world is still violent.

The dove came, but was killed;
In use of weapons, all are skilled,
Rise of violence all around,
As there is no one to utter a sound.

An eye for an eye makes the world blind,
Are we all of the same kind?
In the roof of peace, take a stand;
Don't let blood mix with sand.

A new deal maybe useful,
without making others the fool,
Give a smile, take a smile
And the anger will go nile.

Hi Vaishnavi, Give a smile, take a smile And the anger will go nile is a good motto and motivation. But in the present set up, many people are for immediate reciprocal in violent way including brothers and friends. Anyway, let us give smile! cheers!
