Year Two Thousand Twenty Poem by Prem Nizar Hameed

You and I may believe in Krishna, Rama, Jesus, Allah, Buddha
Even in any forms of God, or in agnosticism or in Atheism;
A free and progressive world guarantees all these with no
Racial, linguistic, or religious discrimination is my belief

There is a small piece of thought for the Year Two Thousand Twenty:
We soon witness the funeral procession of the year 2019 to history
One more year with last sacraments and a lot of sentiments

The pros and cons of the year may be analyzed by various standpoints
Hindsight shall be a catalyst for the betterment of the New Year ahead;
Our world is a small planet and we are one among many a living thing
Unusual thing is that the human heart is made of such a substance that
Sizes timely to contain all the galaxies inclusive of yet to be explored ones
And that shrinks as well to the size in which even an atom cannot stay in;
Neither science nor religions have succeeded so far to precisely define it
Despite the self proclaimed eulogies of our own individual ideologies

The wastage of energy and resources to maintain "ENMITY" intact is evident
We are, however, here to live our lives with peace and mutual trust and respect
Easterners, Southerners, Northerners or Westerners, we are one in nature
No matter in body features as all encase one and the same HUMANITY
This simple and great meaning is the invisible axis of Earth: that is LOVE
Yes, let us step into an epoch with full of harmony, happiness and prosperity
