NEWS, BLOSSOMS AND CHILDREN
NEWS, BLOSSOMS AND CHILDREN
News are saddening ;
But gardener is nurturing
Flowers,as usual.
One flower bloomed
And the next is
About to bloom.
News for today,
Abound in news of killings.
News are gloomy;
But in hospitals,
Mothers are giving birth
To kids.
And are thinking
Names for them
Lovely and unique.
News are sorrowful;
But children are going in rickshaw.
They are cheerful
Sucking candies
Laughing at passers-by
And commenting.
News are sorrowful;
But flowers and children are
Same as before.
News will continue
Like this only;
But kids and flowers
Will remain like this only.
A poem originally composed in Punjabi by Dr. Amajeet Kaunke and translated by me.
