Poem: Flowers 🌼🌺🌷⚘🌹🥀🏵

 Flowers


Flowers unplucked live longer,

Maidens are like flowers,

The fragrance of their beauteousness,

Dissolve all differences and disturbances.


'Baran' or 'Hathras',

'Nirbhaya' or an 'Abhaya',

Names of places or persons,

Are of little consequence,

When living souls are sacrificed,

To satisfy the hunger of a perverted conscience!


Not to be plucked or,

Crushed, stampeded or brutalised,

The wonderful flower of myriad temperaments,

Remember she is,

Someone's daughter, friend or sister,

Wife, mother or lover!


Remember - love forced,

Is not real love to begin with,

Flowers unplucked live longer!


S.Padmapriya

 A Great Soul (A poem on Mahatma Gandhi) Great souls are not made In gyms or fashionable parlours but in  Foundries producing human castings; the  Soul is melted in the heat of sufferings And carefully wrought great souls are brought out. He fought imperialism by resistance with truth Satyagraha. He had a child like heart and  Said that the education of a child begins with  Conception. He shed tears at animal sacrifice Even in temples. He preached and practised ‘Ahimsa - non-violence’    ‘Brahmacharya – celibacy’ ‘Satyagraha – resistance with truth’ and ‘Aparigraha – non-possession’; Living  A righteous life and suffering. Winning  Goodwill. Rendering service in a spirit of joy. Great souls are not made In gyms or fashionable parlours but in  Foundries producing human castings; the  soul is melted in the heat of  sufferings And carefully wrought great souls are brought out.
