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

• ‘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.
