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
Wonderful piece!

Lovely poem ma’am 🙂
Thanks Rupali
Somehow I find these words to be golden. A forgiving person is often misconstrued as a weak one… But they are the one who wield an enviable control over things. Well written!
Thanks Sanjukta , This is one of my earlier poems. I have a recitation of it in the room .
Beautiful!
Thanks Jaya
