Notes About The Poem

Need of the hour

From apes we have evolved,
The theory of evolution declares.
As social beings we gradually advanced;
Ignoring harmony, we suddenly ruined.
The advent of caste, creed and religion
Has broken up the world into fragments.
Our deities, prophets and saints taught us
The principles of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’.
It’s time we make peace, love, understanding and mercy,
The pillars on which humanity survives, our sole motto.
