  Now, this is something. But I have a recommendation and that always works -- atleast for me. The trade secret is, if there is something that you want to share with you -- a piece written by someone else, the best is to write a piece yourself honouring it. Like I wrote You Can Win poem praising the efforts of Mr Khera. And instead of picking something from Auden I created my own piece for 'Someday'. And I did same during Iraq way (read poem at tofind blog). So, dear Suruchi, I would request you to use your wool of imagination, your skill of literature to weave it, and your fist hand experiences and felling to sew it together and if you do so, I guarantee, you will start creating piece that would be read for long time to come, they will becom immortal. This is the only trade secret in the 'World of Words!' Be a sailor, be a warrior, be an artist whose, mast, sword and brush is pen. So are we expecting some thing soon??

  Cry For Peace
  
  If needed we must cry
  
  But not with pain; cry for peace
  
  If needed we must stand up
  
  But not to fight; stand up to stop all the fights.
  
  If needed we must raise our hands
  
  But not to kill; raise them to let no one be killed
  
  If needed we must make allies
  
  But not to attack; make allies to let no one be attacked.
  
  And the need of the time
  
  Is to do this all,
  
  For all of us are sons and daughters
  
  Of our dear lord;
  
  Together, we are a big family
  
  And this place is our home,
  
  We will not let you burn it
  
  And call the doom.
  
  No one can touch our brothers and sisters and friends
  
  Thinking they are alone,
  
  We are here to stand by their side
  
  No one can throw on them a single stone.
  
  You, the leaders, don’t have the right
  
  To decide who should live and who should die
  
  For you have worked little for peace
  
  But ample for hatred, war, greed and futile pride.
  
  Don’t do this, sir,
  
  For you lead the world
  
  There are deaths you have not seen
  
  There are screams you have not heard
  
  The world is not your kingdom
  
  Nor is life your plaything
  
  Wake up from the selfish dream
  
  You have lived in
  
  We want to sleep and wake in peace
  
  We don’t want your conceited speech
  
  For we have learned we are safe
  
  When you are away
  
  So, let us alone to live our way
  
  Think of us as living, not as the puppets of clay.

  Love Is A Big Lie
  
  They were just dreams,
  
  And dreams don’t come true always.
  
  They were just wishes,
  
  And wishes are not realized always.
  
  That was just hope,
  
  And hope doesn’t keep you going always.
  
  That was just trust,
  
  And trust doesn’t hold you tight always.
  
  That was just love,
  
  And love doesn’t make you happy always,
  
  Because it was just a lie
  
  And lies end up the way it has, always.
