Let’s Go by Md Ejaj Ahamed
The world has been filled
With stench of unrest.
Let’s spread all over the world peace’s scent
The earth has been suffering
From disease of unhumanness.
Let’s go with humanity’s medicine to heal.
If you look at nature with eyes
And hear the nature’s voices with ears,
You will get to see peace,
You will get dears.
Look at showers, rivers, birds;
Look at butterflies, bees, trees, hills, seas;
Look at starry night,
Look at moonlight,
Look at sunrise,
Look at twilight;
They all will welcome you
And tell you
That all in the cosmos are relatives;
You will get to see beauty, tranquility;
You will get to acquire knowledge largely;
You will get to learn discipline, duty, morality.
Look at Nature by Md Ejaj Ahamed from India
Look at the heaven,
You will get tranquility, attractiveness.
Walking on the horizon-way
The morning star, the dew-diamonds on grasses
welcome you with a smile on their faces
For a new day.
Look at the twilight,
You will get serenity; wearing red sari, ornaments, scattering
Disposed hair, the western horizon welcomes
With red and orange flowers
In hand for a new night.
Look at the starry sky,
The moon, the stars welcome you
With a smile on their faces
And it will make you think about the spaces.
Look at the fields, hills, fountains, rivers, tress;
They will welcome you with a smile on their lips
And will teach you kindness, peace.
But alas! Human beings are harming the environment;
They are harming themselves;
Their existences are crying;
The earth is crying for her diseases,
For fading her loveliness.
Yet, nat
ure folds her peace-resourcess.
