Smart
(Dedicated to all who can rise for truth and justice for peace in the
world - Deepak
Sarkar, www.kolki.com)
Since
childhood, I was little slow kind except running!
Used
to think more than needed before responding -
That
made me a fast runner, speed player
But
a slow learner and delayed answerer!
Pressured
by parents and peers, tried my best to become smart
Finished
schools and universities learning state of the art
Discovered
how smartness dictates career in the world
Surpassing
honesty, creativity, sincerity and hard work -
Engaged
in conflicts to reveal people
only acting smart!
As
I grew older –
My
reactions to chronic world problems became even slower
Analyzing
events more reading between lines undercover
Watched
how we feel secured staying busy with career -
In
better car, richer neighbourhood, bigger house and barrier
Ignoring
bigotry,
ideology
leading to violence, terror and wars!
I
slowed down to feel how earth spinning
for daily rotation
Listened
to plants, animals, birds, beyond civilized pollution
Saw
God’s smiles illuminating dynamic creative evolution -
True
smartness is to embrace truth
against all humiliation!
