Peace Poem by chandra thiagarajan

When we analyze carefully
Man's attitudes
We find people fully
Of unintelligent hues.

On a wheel chair
A lame man despairs
At the sight
Of healthy legs pair
Walking past him.
But the man who walks
Laments at another man's flight
With a scooter passing by him.
The man with the scooter
Again is jealous
Of a motor-car owner
Who is grievous
About his income-tax.
Such indeed are man's interacts!

For man's such sorrows vent
The remedy is evident.
Focus attention on what we have
Which less fortunate do not have
For other objects refuse to crave
Developing a sense of gratitude
To the Lord Almighty
Will change man's attitude
And will give him everlasting Peace!
