Sky and Earth
Earth is round so are Sun and Moon; all orbs
Sky’s full of celestial globes
Which have their own systems of movement
Following the ideal of noninvolvement
In the affairs of others like stars and planets
Which exist like wisdom’s precious nuggets
In harmony, in regulated systematic pattern
Each like a taciturn tactician;
Whatever the deviations from the norm
Are adjusted as if by a supreme wisdom;
They are illumined joyous and wholesome.
Human sphere consists of countries;
Humans with innumerable unregulated intricacies
Pertaining to faith, understanding, beliefs in hegemony
Create problems of incorrigible disharmony;
In spite of great commercial improvements
Communication by electronic developments
Making the whole earth a global village
Most of them have religions but so poles apart
That some consider it instrument of diabolic act
To subjugate women and countries; the whole earth
Under their bestial faith justifying its worth.
Others carry on their religious ideas as ever before
Few are spiritually evolved to go beyond the mundane shore.
Man may regain his lost kingdom
Only with spiritual fervor and appropriate wisdom.
