IF EVERYONE STRIVES

by Dr. Ashok T. Chakravarthy

Without love ….
        there is no tolerance
Without tolerance ….
        there is no peace
Without peace ….
        there is no prosperity
Without prosperity ….
        there is no happiness
Without happiness ….
        there is no meaning for life.

Through love blossoms peace,
        Which paves a way for prosperity,
Through prosperity blossoms happiness
        Which fulfills everything we aspire,
These are the four strong pillars
        On which our ‘lives’ can build progress;
These are the four strong options
        On which our ‘future’ can solidly rely,
These are the four strong spheres
        In which we ought to ‘stand united’.

Blessed, blessed will be humans
        If everyone strives for universal welfare;
Stability and integrity, if gets endangered
        The principles of freedom get ditched,
And, the driving force that lifts us all
        Is unity that breaks all cobwebs of despair,
And, the fruits of peace will be within reach
        Once we see our fondest hope blossoming.
