Intrigue

If drops of blood shed were seeds
deserts would become rain forests
will the wars end then
or would trees then be the targets
to be felled in greed
because powers that be
hate green?

succinct!

and as evocative as ever.
Great read dear raj.

thanks for your encouraging and appreciative words. It is really intriguing isn't it that what will really end wars....i know the answer is may be never because it is all about an arms race and not arms in embrace...

I guess you may have ended your daily fast and had an evening feast...i think it's called iftihar? whatever...i really like the Firni ...i don't know if you guys make it....it is a sweet set & served in earthen cups....i love it...

Iftar it IS

but have no idea about the firni... maybe another name ? Could I have the recipe, please? :)

Rula

thanks for correcting me..it is indeed an Iftar i guess where you invite the near and dear ones for a feast..

from what I have heardd while breaking the fast it is a tradition for all to gather and eat from the same plate which I believe is such a wonderful gesture....

as for Firni I even have its picture ..check out

the only complaint I have about Firni is that it is a desert whereas I would love it to be the main course :)

I know

how thoughts grow
but at times I know
all what many don't know t
he war the battle
the end
the shallowness of all human
they call themselves humane
never believe in em
polishians you
well know 'em

green is the colour
of all environment
that we need
but sad indeed
they cannot on themselves breed
they alone die of cancerous greed
yes indeed
in their deed
you have sounded well
o raj friend
phirni is just a delicacy

This is an amazing poem and a great way to raise awareness

This is an amazing poem and a great way to raise awareness. Please keep writing because you may be able to help so many kids. Great idea for a poem. Thank you for this wonderful poem.
Beautiful poem - captures the idea of natural beauty so well...poem runs as clever instructions to photograph these children in the backdrop of their surroundings and just the way they are.

Hi Mario

thanks for words of appreciation. I don't know what makes you feel that there are instructions in this poem for kids...i thought there is a much deeper between the lines message her hard for the kids to comprehend...may be it is a cut and paste comment....

thanks all the same..

PHIRNI is as sweetest as they say

is A REINDEER
''HIRNI''
a colloquial name
for a lovely girl they tell me

both are sweet and lovely
in the desert
as dessert
and
the ocean
_sublime
wherever raj _ocean
may love
to
live and dine
twill be fine
hirni along with phirni
Rozas are over
or r they
yet!
