Is it merely just a paper? Born from nature, molded by hands Timekeeper of history, curator of mortal demands! From the moment a kid scribbles their first doodles To the moment a person records his last. Is it merely just a paper? A child’s canvas of boundless dreams, Where letters dance, and colors gleam. An artist’s appetite for creation, Where he shapes his imagination. A man’s plea of proposal, a revolutionist’s voice A royal decree, a gift! Or a nation’s cunning ploys, An innocent airplane, a love letter or a terrible ransom, A waste or a cheque of money- quite handsome! It has the power to bring tears or a simple smile, A bridge between hearts, across many a mile In ink, in lead, in blood or in gold, Written in it are valiant stories to be foretold Written in it are- “A B C D”,  “1 2 3 4” “Apne matbhedo ko bhuljao aur Halla Bol !” “Rohit weds Archana” “He fought with honor” “Sorry mom and dad, I couldn’t make it” Carrier of Joy, Carrier of Sorrow Plight of yesterday, Flight of tomorrow! Is it merely just a paper?

(Not) Just a Paper
Is it merely just a paper? Born from nature, molded by hands Timekeeper of history, curator of mortal demands! From the moment a kid scribbles their first doodles To the moment a person records his last. Is it merely just a paper? A child’s canvas of boundless dreams, Where letters dance, and colors gleam. An artist’s appetite for creation, Where he shapes his imagination. A man’s plea of proposal, a revolutionist’s voice A royal decree, a gift! Or a nation’s cunning ploys, An innocent airplane, a love letter or a terrible ransom, A waste or a cheque of money- quite handsome! It has the power to bring tears or a simple smile, A bridge between hearts, across many a mile In ink, in lead, in blood or in gold, Written in it are valiant stories to be foretold Written in it are- “A B C D”,  “1 2 3 4” “Apne matbhedo ko bhuljao aur Halla Bol !” “Rohit weds Archana” “He fought with honor” “Sorry mom and dad, I couldn’t make it” Carrier of Joy, Carrier of Sorrow Plight of yesterday, Flight of tomorrow! Is it merely just a paper?
