Sacrificing Self-Interest

Oh, Empathy,

you divine child of love,

I implore Thee to help us sacrifice our

self-interest

on

the altar of common good

for

only in this way mankind could put aside

their differences and find solutions

for

the benefit of us all!

My Grandparents

MY GRANDPARENTS

I'm lucky
That with God's grace, 
I enjoy the privilege
To have with me
My loving grandparents.

At forty three
Sixteen my son
When I suffer from deep nostalgia, 
Long long back
I could memorise
A pair of benevolent faces
With smiling panacea.

With their affectionate hands
They fed, groomed
And brought me up, 
Spent nights sleepless
Caring watchful and
Comforting me in their lap.

Ate exactly spent frugally

The Sacrificing of the Poor Heroes For the Independence

They told
Without weapons, enough food, necessary products
They are bold
To fight against the armed forces and occupationists
To snatch complete freedom
To ensure the glory of being independent
Keeping pace with the rest of the world
Raising head as independent nation,

And they were right
Within nine months of violent fight
They were able to hunt
The cruel, unscrupulous rulers’ foolish forces,

Then victory came

Sacrificing Love

The fog that en laces
The lofty peaks
Shows its amiability.
The butterflies and bees
That collects the nectar of flowers
Quote its heart of sharing.
Through the enlightening face, 
Through the sparkling
But sharp look
Of the son, 
Flows out the mom’s love, 
Concern and happiness.
The language of the heart
Of the mother
Comes through, 
Gets life and sound
Through the lips of the son.

Sacrificing Forever

Some can't imagine forever
So they came up with time and chance
The theory of evolution
Just one idea they advance

The Bible is not fantasy
Regardless what some may believe
The answers to our universe
A gift that we can all receive 

Gateway to a meaningful life
It's crucial we take time to read
Although it's often misquoted
It's exactly what we all need

Sacrificing

Looking through old photo boxes
I happen to trip upon
High School memories of my Mother
Resound off the walls, faded edges
Finger printed memoirs sigh between the creases
Of the emerald green sofa
Laughing, fashionable, full of vitality
Mother to me, was
A friend, a mentor, a lover, to somebody else
Seeing how she had a life, before this family

I felt the pregnant
