Our Hope For Today Poem by Savita Tyagi
Our Hope For Today
Life is a bucket with a hole at the bottom.
It always looks so full as we deposit
Our share of little drops of love and hope,
Frustrating as we add to it our share of
Despair and suffering common to us all.
Though it all may seep out from the life-bucket,
Still a small droplet of hope clings at the bottom,
Stubbornly refusing to be washed out.
A hope for a little more understanding among
All who have come to inhabit this planet.
Innumerable souls housed in the bodies of many
Color and forms sharing one goal of a peaceful life.
Our wishes float like the luminous drops of water
Reflected with moonbeams by a muddy pond
Igniting calls for the aesthetic beauty of life
To be shared by all.
Our hope is for a just society and our demand
Is for sincere and compassionate leaders,
Not for the ones who think and behave
As if the life is created for the partnership
Of dominant and dominated.

Our hope is for a just society and our demand Is for sincere and compassionate leaders, Not for the ones who think and behave As if the life is created for the partnership Of dominant and dominated.........I love these lines. This concluding Stanza is full of inspiration, hope and right demands. Well executed. Thanks for sharing.
excellent poem penned about the life and hope Life is name of surviving on the earth though someone defines it as living eternity (afterlife) and the hope is a full colorful canvas where life can take any taste of known and unknown events.......
Comparison of life to a leaky bucket is apt. We add sorrow and happiness but everything gets leaked out except a drop of hope for peace and justice...10
Thank you so much Damodaran ji for reading and writing a very supportive comment.
Unfortunately the vested interests with muscle power who sponsored globalization, etc have transformed the way of life in our world into a corporate affair. The sharks in it to establish dominance. Common people have no choice or voice and they have to suffer this way or that way. They can only hope for a peaceful life, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing thought provoking poem.10 points.
Thank you so much Ratnakarji for reading and writing a very thoughtful comment.
