Poetry: Guru Prakasham

Many many years ago our Gurus

lit the lamp

And the prakasham was born

carrying power of the soul

This light of truth on the lands of

five rivers

It orbited and orbited around the

sun

Along with the earth that carried

it as sindhur

This earthly prakasham s so

powerful

Of human’s universal message of

one God

Four hundred orbits gone in no

time

The great Prakasham has even

out-glowed the son

As it orbits all around the sun,

even sun bows in enhanced

reverence

And salutes the earth, for all that

it carries

The Greatest Prakasham of Guru

Granth Sahib.

-A.P.J Abdul Kalam

Poetry: I dream a world

I dream a world where man

no other man will scorn,

Where love will bless the earth

And peace its paths adorn

I dream a world where all

Will know sweet freedom’s way,

Where greed no longer saps the soul

Nor avarice blights our day.

A world I dream where black or white,

Whatever race you be,

Will share bounties of the earth

And every man is free,

where wretchedness will hang its head

And joy, like a pearl,

Attends the needs of all mankind

Of such I dream, my world!

-Langston Hughes
