Oh what a thought, beautiful and bold To the rope of God, we all hold Everyone had their own opinion I was told Yet to each other why do we act so cold? To unite all of mankind is like removing everyone from their holes Then why do we fight each other and turn into […]
Hope Through Human Connections – Suzane K Mathews
In a world of contrasts, one would say – “Hope” a word though small in size, is full and complete in meaning. Humanity though,extended in meaning to encompass evermore. Today seems in significance, null and void. For the tragedy is that currently, HUMANITY has lost all hope in itself. Like an orphan, bereft of […]
The ‘Poetic Heart’ Winner: -“Our World” by Shrey Kohli
Every night I dream of unceasing meadows and sparkling streams, But the world that I wake up to may not be as good as it seems. The streams now carry our waste and the meadows are anything but green. We always talk of peace but the world today is not so serene. Leaders of […]
Connecting with humanity – Savannah Lobo
Connecting with humans, It seems pretty simple. But yet so difficult. Why is that? Why can’t we connect with someone like us? We are all the same, yet a tiny bit different. Is it because we are under the influence of social media? Or is it that we choose to ignore the pleas […]
The Uncertain Inevitability – Rohit V. Srinivasan
Unable to recognize what lied before my eyes, All I heard was cussing, screaming, and bursts of cries. It seemed like a completely new world, Yet it somewhat resembled that, of my old. Could this truly be the world I used to know? I started my journey to the nearest town, With innumerable stretches […]
F Word – Rimsha Zaidi
I go to buy clothes and select them, not by the choice of it but the size of it. My cousins started calling me fatso and fatty instead of sweetie or cutie. My relatives started sending me weight loss products and remedies instead of normal messages and goodies. I entered my home in India expecting […]
Mother – Muvisha Ajay
Such a special bond we share Such a special person you are Mom you’ve always given me abundantly, your caring love and constant support. I’ve always wondered how you do it all mom, being a teacher, doctor and adviser to me, yet finding time to listen to my secrets and worries. I just couldn’t […]
THE SHRINE WITHIN WE – DHEEMAN GANGOPADHYAY
There lies a dark shrine hidden within our deep recesses, Cobbled by petty lies and our mistakes uncommitted. It lies empty, as our thoughts cannot cross the empty chasm, The rift our society has taught. Whilst it remains shrouded in a blanket of ignorance. We all strive for it, yet it does not yield […]
Shattered – Aarushi Sarkar
My bones are of porcelain My heart is of glass, Don’t touch me dear, I might fall apart. Give me your heart, I shall hold it with care. Gingerly, I shall hold it close to mine. I know how reckless you’ve been with mine, Oh! how you’ve shattered it into nine. […]
A CRY FOR PEACE – Sheryll Garg
A gun shot sounded And a person dropped dead Uncontrolled blood flowing Makin the body completely red The grieving family seeks revenge Their family member they want to avenge This triggered a series of killing The whole nation with deadly war filing A very here and a scream there Sadness takes over, happiness […]
FALL OF SEASONS – SASHINI MANIKANDAN
Oh the hotness, We need coldness, It’s unmistakable Cause it’s SUMMER. Oh the leaves, In many heaps It’s unmistakable Cause it’s AUTUMN. Oh the coldness, Has a lot of harshness, It’s unmistakable Cause it’s WINTER. Oh the breeze, Sends away the freeze, Is unmistakable Cause it’s SPRING. Due to peace All […]
Light of Tolerance – Sarika Manoj
We search for light. We search in the darkness and claim to find no such light. We don’t realise we are blind folded. By our prejudices and abstruse preconceptions. We accept that we are all unique and different. Accept that the world is for all of us. Then why do we find it so hard […]
BELIEVE – Saraswathi S. Iyer
“Did I or not?” Is what keeps me up all night, With all these problems that I don’t know to fight “Should I or not?” circulates my head all day long, What makes me fear is, ‘What if I am wrong?’ “Can I or not?” is the reason for my fear, And It rapidly […]
MILLION REASONS – RISHITA DUTTA
Every day is a wonderful day. Why? Because of our mother. Every day is fun. Why? Because of our mother. A day might come where you feel bad. Who makes you feel better? Our mother. But our mom never tells if she feels bad. Why? Cause she cares about others. She […]
PEACE – Ria Tushar Ghelani
Beyond the fights and the screams unworthy, Beyond the cries and the shouts for mercy, In a world away from hurt and pain, Laughs and smiles are all that rains. Underneath those smiles, it’s the hurt that hides, Every day we witness a new one die, Is this what we truly deserve? Or should our […]
