A BETTER WORLD CALLED 'UTOPIA'

I finished writing this one just a few moments back. I have my weekend off before exams strike again, monday morning. So, I decided to celebrate my few hours of pleasant freedom by writing a poem and saving my blog from getting black-listed by many viewers as
 'Stale for a Week'

I dedicate this to AJ ( whose words of praise for my useless poetry has re-inspired me to keep writing) , Tisha , Namrata and Kush ( Please note the juxtaposition ).


A   BETTER   WORLD CALLED  'UTOPIA'


      Set me free from hungry hands
       Set me free from mortal chains
       Lead me to a better world
       Where no tears tickle pain.
 
      Let be this The piece of Land
     Where the flocking birds do sing
     In rain and sun and summer-time
     In seasons of gold-harvesting.

     In pleasure let all celebrate
     Let 'little moments' smear hues
     Of divine smelling love-me-nots
     And kiss the tired all anew.

    Let us draw no battle lines
   Amongst brothers, amongst creed
   Have enough to feed sustenance
   Not a grain to appease greed.

   Thoughts meander not to rest
   Yet no ploy to attain gain.
   Making fragile walls of hope
   In defense of pristine Eden.

  Void or brimming, fast or slow
  Death will still in ambush wait
  Until then, let life be good
  Until then, let love sedate.
   




I found out I have fallen in love........................with blogging of course.
So couldn't resist posting.

Adieu.
