Slam the Slam, Shall We

We are all born 
To a world seemingly full of interesting diversity
But why do we slam each other
Instead of accepting and living together
Do we not need each other’s support, sometime? 

When we slam others we forget
We slowly shut the door on ourselves
And stop growing except bloating in size
And wasting precious resources
Which are meant to be shared amongst all humanity.

Each one must grow to mature somehow
And learn to endure the adverse
And the idiosyncrasies of things around 
That change constantly on ground
In a collective effort to blend human needs with nature.

Is anything permanent except history?
So why not make it memorable 
For us and future generations to cherish it
And build newer avenues and rising ever higher
Through cooperation and mutual respect.

We need to knit a grand slam team
Of entire humanity
To go onwards and upwards
Like steel alloyed and put to steam
Whose frames do not corrode easily through time.

Alone we sure fall downwards
And perpetuate the differences
Those obliterate our collective achievements
For creation is difficult to achieve 
But easy to fritter away on triviality.

Slam kills the feelings of care and love
Spreads hatred and scares the dove
Warmth of fellow beings brings succour
Allowing unimaginable feats to occur
So let us slam the slam, shall we?

Olive, if history can be reinterpreted then change remains the only permanent thing. So your original perception prevails. Keep posting your ideas. will also love to enjoy your poems. Mohan

Hello Mohan, You are right slam, hurts and kills the care and love we have for one another. Politicians, are the best slammers of the world. I like the knitting a grand slam team. This makes a perfect entry for 2 contests going on here... Let's slam the slam... XOX ~Linda

Hi Linda, with your suggestion, I had entered Verlena's contest also and now she judged me generously, I would say. Mohan
