A New Universe Poem by Madhav Sarkunde

I think to create
A universe
Quite different
From the one
We live.
In it will be
No room for
Vices like
Hatred
Greed
Doubt and
Deception

The fulcrum
Of it will be
Love born of
Pure feelings
None will vie
Madly for bucks
Nor will matter
Rule mind.
Only heart
Will matter

Discriminations
Thrived on
Caste
Color
Creed and
Gender
Will be banned
For good

Happiness
Will be religion
Free to all
Temple
Church
Mosque
Or the like
Won't be
Allowed
To estrange
Us

Knowledge
That is a craze
Of our world;
Will be held at bay
The voice
Sprung from
Truth embed
In our cells
Will lead
Our life
All means
Of joy will
Belong to none
But all.

Like
The Electric bill
Everyone will get
A monthly notice
That he/she will die
Someday
Purpose of this act is
To remind him/her
Of futility of
Wool-gathering

Yet there are many
Things to adore
My creation with
If only you help me.

Without you my venture
Will be half hatched
I believe and believe;
That dovetailing of
Our souls will birth
A new universe!
