We Need To Believe As We Need To Live Poem by Bashyam Narayanan

We need to believe that
The days ahead are as bright and colourful
As the eastern horizon
On a clear dawn

We need to believe that
The opportunities awiting our exploring
Are as many as many
The number of starts that glitter
On a clear dark sky

We need to believe that
We have the skills to
Create and sustain
Systems with all intricacies
And to terminate them
Adequately harmlessly

We need to believe that
We have the knowledge
To judge right as right
Wrong as wrong
And to take appropriate
Measures if we are on the wrong foot

We heed to belive that
We have all the resources
To build a humanity
Cemented with love and affection
And to protect
All the living things around
Keeping others in tact

We need to believe
That we will leave behind
Enough of natural recources
For future generations
To enjoy and explore

We need to believe
That we have the capability
To motivate the entire human race
To understand and act on the importance
Of universal brotherhood and global welfare
Turning the world a fair place
And a heaven

We need to believe
That we need to believe all the above
As we need to live
