Gospel from an Indian Poet

  Gospel from an Indian Poet

 

Come on my youth s

To hear this gospel

I am with you to guide you in all

We are from His grace and

We are from His gates

Though we are same

But where we differ?

You are attacking my bothers

Who came to study for life?

We are feeling sorry and

We are shedding tears

They are your brothers and

They are also sons of this land

Don’t show your hatreds and

Don’t become their enemies

You are welcome to this land

To learn the path of peace and love

When you are in our queue then

You will be in high

Gospel...

A plea from a student of life and a graduate of death. You constantly amaze me Sakkkkkkk. Your words should be taken to heart, not only by the students that you address, but all those who see them. These words are not fluff, and I take them seriously. I wish that all people were as astute as you in interpeting the simple facts of life. I thank you, my friend, for these words to live by. Your friend always,Gee.

Geezer is right

but that does not make this good poetry. It is stiff and formal, a speech. Do you want to teach or preach? where is the music of language? Cheers, Jess
