Mind
- A N Dhawan
In the wilderness of the mind
The restless soul yearns for peace!
Despite all advances in science
All pervading nature rules
Seems the creator broods and watches
Beginning of life reported at Mars
Earth seems doomed to extinction
We plan for the immediate future
The all wise smiles!
Puny forms on the brink of drowning
Dreaming to conquer space!
Rent by petty quarrels of power and fame
Forgotten the power above!
Tinsel drums, new gazebos
Who yearns for peace
A serious confluence of thinkers…
With compassion for the trodden…
Sustainable prosperity well-spread
All round…work till possible,
Equitable education…moral values,
…a rise in idealism! Glitzy world…enough!
In the wilderness of the mind
The restless soul yearns for peace!
