SOMETHING I LOOK AT-18 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY Life A continuous endeavour in pursuit of peace, Often equated with happiness, Which is not. Happiness is a transitory phenomenon In between two sorrows While peace is a permanent treasure When it descends deserts none To conceive of world peace is a myth When individuals are at war With emotions and instincts Anxieties and ambitions With naked self-interest parading high and high In the guise of virtue. Mentally still in the primitive society, It is a battle of each against all Balance of terror Is something we aim at, Intend to have that scenario Where each state strong enough To inflict unacceptable damage upon the other And ensure that each state lives in perpetual Fear of the other. Fear by its very nature Can never be the basis of world peace. Mental peace of the individuals Inhabiting the world Can be the only basis for sustainable peace. Peace is not a commodity To be purchased at a price Nor it will come out as euphoria From any international agreement. It is to be sought within We have come out of peace Obvious we are in search of it Since cradle to the grave. Life is a journey for peace and peace only At the end of the day Everybody needs peace. Behind every human action The driving force is peace We all are searching for peace But in the wrong ways Only we are to change direction and peep inside And realise our real nature Which is nothing But truth bliss and absolute Where ever you go whatever you do No peace Until you content yourself Something to be carefully harvested And meticulously nurtured Nothing and nothing but Self-introspection and realisation Can save the world from complete annihilation copyright@smrutiranjan 13.10.2016 #SOMETHING I LOOK AT-18 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY Life A continuous endeavour in pursuit of peace, Often equated with happiness, Which is not.
