OUR POEM 
 
Our poem speaks of love 
From electronic to platonic  
From supernatural to cosmic 
From Nomadic to humanistic  
And from ironic to logistic  
For the robotic to divine god;   
Our poems are the poems of 
Art, architecture and sculpture 
From clown to the crown  
It speaks of altruism in reliability  
Politics in secularity and  
God in monism and Brahma 
 
Our poem is the poem of parity  
Of man and woman  
Speaks of workers, labours and wagers  
Speaks of integrity of dust and grass 
Speaks of sweat and tears of twisted muscle 
Of tribes and savages in democracy  
 
Our poems speak of one nation 
One life and one world beyond colour 
Speak of Veda and the Bible  
Speak of white, green and saffron  
Speak of mind in kind and in degree 
 
Our poem is the poem 
Of the broken and the beaten 
Speaks of patriotism and nationalism 
Speaks of hope in despair and gloom  
Speaks of joy in sorrows and tears 
Speaks of patience and tolerance  
 
Our poem is your poem and their poem 
Under the same sky in same ambience 
They come of different souls  
But speaks of same rhythm of blood, 
And speaks of heartbeat of mankind 
Through even and uneven passage 
 
Our poem is the poem  
Of all ages to come from genesis 
Speaks of science and conscience 
Coalesced into metamorphic divinity 
Speak of technology of cosmography 
Theolog and phenology  
Through amity and reciprocity  
 
Our poem is the poem 
Of the whisper of the soil  
Brought up in her cradle 
Speaks of the common and rundown  
It comes spontaneously to mind 
As new leaves appear on branches 
 
Our poems speak of the ancestors  
Speak of struggle for life against injustice 
Speak of victory of tradition  
Speak of their obscure history in astral sky 
Speak of their sacrifice for freedom 
Hovering in the air as possibility for the new 
  
Our poem speaks of harmony in relations 
Between man and man, and man and thing 
From dust to mount, and drop to ocean 
From finite to infinite, and tangible to intangible 
From Iliad, Odyssey to Gitanjali and so on 
From Aristotle to Kant and Descartes’  
 
Our poem speaks of dynamic philosophy  
Between physical and infinite truth  
Reflected on Einstein and Tagore’s encounter  
Left a lasting mark in history of renaissance 
It is our poem for human universe 
Breathed into Satyam, Shivam and Sundaram   
 
Our poem speaks of the doctrine 
Of absolute humanity out of separatism 
Converged to the point of entity  
Dispersed in rays of souls  
Strewn everywhere.
