BOUNDARIES

 

K. M. Kale

 

Pollution and corruption

Know no boundaries

Nor do birdful and AIDS

Nor other dreadful maladies.

 

E’en for our lust-n-greed

No obstacle is too high

And for our ambition

The only limit is the sky.

 

Between heart and heart

We’ve raised a Berlin wall

Which needs to be pulled down

God of love therein to install.

 

Alas! our love, our sympathies

Are confined within the bounds

Of narrow class, caste-n-creed

Sect, religion and nationalities.

 

Let virtue learn from the evil

And the angel from the devil

Not to admit boundaries

Not to limit their sympathies.
