Long live Africa



O great people of Africa, you rise
Wait for no sweet and hollow promises
 Prefer to plough your own field
 There will definitely be very good yield

 Motherland wants more sacrifice
 Not happy with unnecessary bloodshed and demises
 Let them commit cruelty and spray bullets
 Answer them with your own hands and ballots

 Key and success is in your hand
 Extend hand of friendship to them as friends
 If no result comes out of it then also go forward
 Now there is no scope of looking backward

 Why African blood has turned yellow?
 Why do they inflict injury and allow
 Why there is no positive result so far?
 Because you have stretched too far

 Let your children not suffer
 Even if you may have divergent views to offer
 Stand united and offer resistance
 Peace is the only way out and bright chance

 We shall extend cooperation
 We can maintain relation
 Yet it may be you who only will have to fight
 Means may be wrong or right

 See that no innocent is killed
 See that unnecessary blood is not spilled
 Freedom must be realized at any cost
 Your will power and tough stand is must

 Leave no stone unturned
 Let peace chance not die and returned
 Pick the threads from where you have lost
 Human misery must be avoided at any cost

 Dream about peaceful nation
 You may be able to establish good relation
 Peace may not be far away
 Stand firm; keep freedom torch on and stay

I hold technical qualification like Diploma in Radio/engineering .I have done English and Hindi stenography as well. I had mastered the art in Morse telephony too. I am associated with several welfare organizations and served long time as Union leader too. I am at present working as hobby writer. I write poems on various subjects and invite suggestions from all the quarters. I have written one memoir named “As I see it” and ready for publication. One interesting part of writing I would love to share with all my reader friends. I am not sure weather it may be the same case with all as I do not want to be caught in any controversy. When I sit on my personal computer, there is absolutely no thought in mind as to what is to be picked up as thought and written. These all things I leave it to the discretion of almighty to fill my mind with relevant ideas. So far I have been graced by Him and as result able to compose about 4000 poems.
