An Ode of Utopia

By Shambhavi Yadav

Clouds are deep dark,
Sun is devoid of spark.
Earth is soaked in crimson hue,
Humans are many but humane are few!

So, I shook my slumbering soul,
As wide awake,
Screams of gored humanity pierced into core!
I wondered,
Isn't Civilization taking a huge toll?!
So, I limned a utopian goal.

At the horizon a world is shimmering!
A world where we recognize all the differences and yet don't discriminate,
Where we are encouraged to accommodate but not coerced to assimilate.

A world where black is valued for depth and white is valued for peace,
Where brethren isn't swayed by shade cards and fraternity doesn't cease.

A world where identities are as fluid as water,
Where compassion surges out and all divisive boundaries shatter.

A world where amity exceeds the constructed limits,
Where from cosmos love spills and hope is all that sun emits.

A world where bonds are forged on the grounds of blood we bleed,
The same crimson hue!
Where humans are not slaughtered on the grounds of religion, race, caste and creed.

A world that is one and not two,
Where one isn't engrossed in extravagance while others are immersed in poor blue.

A world where humans are not in a race of ruthless progression,
Where life thrives in congenial environment and nature has a balanced equation.

A World that blooms in harmony and shrivels the ideas of subjugation,
The World with perfect amalgamation!
