Good Morning - East West North South 2/2

Good Morning 2/2 East West North & South And only those would survive, Who have peace in mind and love in their hearts and the understanding To live and let live Rest who have Guns in hand, powder on face and hatred in hearts* are likely To see soon one day, their own created all designs lost or would vanish In their own erected world of violence and war. But alas! then, nothing may leave on earth To say Good Morning O Beautiful Almighty God In the far far west a tall, dark and mighty man was still working While leaning back on his working chair, To find solutions, Solution of many of his own country’s problems And many of the world unique problems, his people too Were getting impatient and time was running from hands On the other hand the black smoke problem of the world Was getting worse and worse, which had earlier engulfed His own nation shaking the entire world He know if it is not taken care of, it could wipe out the Humanity for ever from earth And now it was bursting out at different places on earth Even blocking the Sunlight to reach on earth The Sunbeams were far still away from his place And the solutions too were not visible anywhere He was lost so much so in his deep and perplexing thoughts That he could not see the messages in the form of blinking lights Were calling him to pick and press the right knob To see the solutions too, which so far could not enter his mind He was trying to mark only already marked some black spots On the map and missed those, which were blinking low Due to too many pre tried strong notions, which were hovering in his mind, Leaving hardly a small space for the new solutions to come in The tall man fell asleep in the early morning hours, when it was still dark And the Sun beams and morning glow were still far far away from him His Good Morning was still to come from him And many in the outside world were waiting for him to wake-up, So the tired world may get some sound sleep Ravindra Kanpur India 11th March 2010 • ‘Guns in hand, powder on face and hatred in hearts’. These words were once spoken by the late President of India Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, who was also a teacher of philosophy in UK university and was a great thinker.
