Thougts On The New Year's Eve Poem by Om Chawla
Thougts On The New Year's Eve
Another year is coming to an end,
exchange of seasonal greetings will there be.
Best of wishes and noble resolves
will be showered and proclaimed affluently:
genuine, sincere with best of intent!
Were last year's wishes any different?
Last year also we wished
happiness and peace for all mankind.
Last year also we pledged
eradication of poverty and exploitation.
Last year also we vowed
to shower kindness and compassion.
And this we have done year after year.
We all had a little bit of budha
and christ in our hearts,
even before Budha and Christ were born.
In every generation we had their reincarnates.
Yet human lot has been same.
Should we buck this hackneyed trend! ?
What else can our wishes be! ?
We can't revamp the society,
so deeply ingrained are the disparities.
It needs demolition
and reconstruction.
Till that happens or made to happen,
even while we follow the tradition,
let us wish and pray for the courage
and wisdom to the suffering lot:
so imbued with belief in self
they might dispense justice unto themselves.
Then and then probably
shall there ever New Dawn be.
Best of Best Wishes
for the New Year
to all.
Somewhat late, but best wishes for the New Year to you also Om. Your poem tells much truth, and we all know that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions - we need to put those good intentions into practice by keeping those resolutions we make but so easily fail to do.
Yes, at the start of every New Year, very many new resolutions are taken. We vow ourselves to stand united and work for the common good! But as the days advance, our decisions fade out like lines writ on water! This is human tendency. Yet New Year is a time to look into our past mistakes and pledge anew not to commit the same mistakes! Fantastic write! ! I wish you Sir a wonderful New Year! !
Thank you for sharing your deep thoughts! A great poem filled with truth. My dear friend I feel the world revolution is near. Until now many of us were thinking mostly of dear ones and ourselves. But now more and more people started to realize that there is no me or you but us. I hope we will live to see it happen my dear Om, the world revolution, it will implement the new order, with a new system, based on love-ism. If we unite our hearts with love, it will be so powerful that nothing could break it down.
