PEACE

 Peace

That rarest of rare , divine virtue !

Have you ever experienced it ?

That soothing , calming ,wonderful feeling ,

That all is well with you and the world !

Where to find it ?

In my home or your home ?

In my land or your land ?

In my heart or your heart ?

No politician will ever find it ,

Their overwhelming ambitions and insatiable greed ,

Never lead to the path of peace .

Speeches ,placards , slogans false,

Forgotten as they come down the stage.

They let the homing pigeons suffocate 

in the sack .

Then release them to go back to their master’s pack .

No fake Sages will go near it ,luring  crowd in the name of God .

They are here  to brainwash you ,intimidate you

With their powerful religious rod .


Only a man  with the power to forget ,

All those misdeeds done to him ,

A man who has courage to forgive  those ,

Who have done him a grievious wrong ,

Is the only  one to sing a  lovely peaceful  song

  The Unsung Songs  With parched throat and cracking voice,  I tried to sing the song of life,  Where love abounds and happiness reigns,  But no words came out of my mind,  Those whom I loved deserted me,  Turned my life into a fearful farce,  Snatched my happiness with their lies,  Just to keep up an honest face,  My rhythm broke, the music faded,  Into the darkest recesses of soul ,  Frozen along with grief of betrayal,  Shattering my belief in humanity all,  Song of peace remained unsung,  Tear choked throat lost its voice,  Deep wounds inflicted on my mind,  Took away melodies of every kind.  Sarita Khullar
