Silent flowing stream
kissed by gentle morning light
lush green field beside

Laws are made by human beings

human beings are not infallible

therefore,  all laws are fallible

My desk is empty
  I don't like this
  there should be
  papers all over
  here and there
even a tiny piece

a  clean table?
For  that I'd happily miss
there should be
some disorder
to stir my imagination
to challenge my wit-
too much cleanliness
is close to being a disease

Beethoven I'm not
look at his untidy desk
and the room of his
with uncompleted manuscripts :
that was how he worked
and the best mark
he never did miss

let mine be as I like
haphazard, disorderly
unpleasant to look at
yet my very task
shall be completed
in good time
and success my lips
shall gladly kiss

I didn't say that-
you added
what wasn't there
and it got distorted

I'd rather
you'd disagreed
we'd have a basis
to discuss what you said

a whole difference does exist
in subtracting or adding a single word
let honesty prevail always between us
in such, conflict and dishonesty we'll avoid

There's no fear of others
if one fears not of their own self
it's the lack of faith of the person
that has created this dilemma

A new generation
or a carry-forward
of the past
what are we?

Have we just
put on new clothes
to be different
but grasped

by what went before?
is civilisation a mere mask?
If we're mere copies
how would our virtues last?

It will only be
a new generation
if the past were cast
to oblivion- in this alone we'll trust

We're each
     just one line
    yours, theirs
    and mine

    yet we're alike
    and aligned
    in soul, heart
   and mind

   one line
   with 1,000 combined
   a formidable force
   becomes-- we'd not be 'allein'

  our voice
  will be heard
  at home
  at the town-hall
  the school
  the community
  places of worship
and every government compound-
a worthy message
people will find

we'll speak up
against conflicts
and wars
all forms of cruelty
and destruction
injustice, exploitation
acts against humanity
and the unforgivable loss
of human lives

we're each
just one line
but can we walk away
from the turmoil
the devastation
or ignore
the ceaseless
helpless cries?

We'll come together
in an explosive voice
a universal anthem
we'll chant-
the Flag of Peace
and Humanity
we'll bear fearlessly
to our sacred call
and duty
we can't be blind!
