Harmony Poem by Ahmad Shiddiqi
Harmony
(dedicated to Sarwar Chowdhury)
Why cant’s we just live in harmony
And build a world full of peace and love?
Why do we all disagree so often?
Is it because we like a continuous argument?
Do our instincts encourage us
To nurture a little grievance
Until it grows up to be
A fully fledged feud?
Conflicts are interesting, engaging
And energizing, aren’t they?
Perhaps we’re enjoying the challenge?
Why we just don’t swiftly solve it?
(inspired by Debussy’s Cloches a travers les feuillies)
The answer lies in the last stanza for the question asked in the first one. It is the Unity in the diversity there is thrill and taste. Harmony never exists at a place where no two persons agree on a single point.
Harmony and its dimensions...philosophy of unity in diversity well protrayed here
Cultivation of many value systems will not bring desired harmony and unification in our world; you addressed this question poignantly. Well done. Peace... and God bless...
A nice dedication to Sarwar, we all hope to live in a peaceful, harmonius world, Lynda xx
Human has been living in chaotic situation since the bigining of 'civilization' so far. And that's why we run after peace and love, a continuum journey towards....... 10++ Heartful thanks for the dedication dear Ahmad. I, too, peace-lover.
I've tried to understand what brings about differences of opinions and is there a way for us the achieve world peace? .I pray for it, light candles and share the message of tolerance but it is up to each of us to learn contentment and how to get along.Good thought provoking poem-another ten from me.Namaste
