Utopia

(Dedicated to Children’s Day wishing a future world of lesser burden on children – Deepak Sarkar, www.kolki.com )

 

Imagine!

A day of hope!

The Sun is shining –

Blossom of flowers is everywhere;

Birds are chirping –

Overshadowing the noise of civilized chores;

Everywhere you look –

Just sign of joy and joy and joy!

 

A day of re-union!

All family members together!

None working late or week-ends,

Without the excuse of illness or guests!

Just laughter and laughter and laughter so dear!

 

A day of recollection!

Where you were,

Where you are,

What you wanted to be,

What you have been

Just reminiscences……

 

A day of consciousness!

Whether we are economically better

Whether others suffering to make us fortunate

Whether we have little time for the planet

Whether we became self-centered

Whether some things may have been done differently!

Just re-evaluation…….

 

A day of peace!

Questioning past justification of wars!

How all or some could have been avoided!

Knowing who benefits from a war

Stopping violence everywhere

Just love and love and love!

For everybody and everything around you

Just love and love and love….
