Stepehn Gill As A Singer Of Om Shantih Shantih Shantih Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Stephen Gill as a poet is but a peacenik.
A votary of peace,
No conflict, no strife, no war,
Peace, peace,
All but for peace
Is the vision and mission of Gill,
Unfurling the flag of peace
At the United Nations,
A poet Buddhistic, all for shantih,
Jainistic, all for non-violence,
A poet Sikhistic and Gandhian.

A humanist from his core,
He is a singer of human heart
In love and sympathy,
Warmer hugs and embraces,
Kisses and handshakes
Which separate it not
And he smiles
When Musharraf handshakes with Vajpayee
And Nawaz Sharif with Modi after a hitch.

A writer whose slogan is peace, whose resolution
Is for peace,
Whose agenda is peace,
The single and sole agenda,
The agenda by circulation too,
Peace, peace, world peace,
Peace at home, on the domestic front,
Peace outside, in the world,
No war, no war at all.

Shantih, shantih, shantih,
Om shantih, shantih, shantih,
Shantih, shantih, shantih
Is the song of his,
A writer for peace, by peace, of peace,
Shantih, shantih, shantih,
World peace,
Let there be peace and there was peace,
Om shantih, shantih, shantih.

Co-existence, harmony and peace,
Love, sympathy and affection
Are the softer interior of his poetry,
Love, human love,
Existence, peaceful co-existence,
Harmony, in relationship,
With love and affection
Are the things of his verse,
A poet kind and humane
From his inside within.
