The Mighty Wars
sorenbarrett said:
A question in a poem that asks why war. A lovely piece that asks us to reflect on the consequences of fighting our fellow man. Nicely done

The poem of heart
sorenbarrett said:
Here in this poem I hear a broader definition of music than most give it. It seems part of life the beat of a heart, the breath taken, the breeze around us and the light of the sun. It is all music as are the colors of the rainbow. Wave lengths of different spectrums all can be considered music. Love it

A wonderful tribute to a beautiful country, for those who have revered and defended it. I love the third stanza, one and all united in the peace and love of the motherland. An excellent write!

The Indian Soldiers

My comments on the poem \"The Indian soldiers”
In the poem “The soldier” by Rupert Brooke (1887-1915), he says :
“If I should die, think only this of me:
That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England’s, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home….”

Indians abroad :
“32 million NRIs
“According to a Ministry of External Affairs report, there are 32 million NRIs and PIOs (including OCIs) residing outside India; and overseas Indians comprise the world\'s largest overseas diaspora. Every year 2.5 million (25 lakhs) Indians migrate overseas, which is the highest annual number of migrants in the world.”
https://www.google.mu/search?q=number+of+Indians+abroad&sca_esv=....
Debt of the West towards India :
“(…) India, it has been said, suffers today, in the estimation of the world, more through the world\'s ignorance of her achievements than the absence or insignificance of those achievements. The work of three generations of scholars has done much to dispel the clouds of prejudice which prevent the West from appreciating the true greatness of Indian culture, but much remains to be done. Even the greatest of Indian rulers are still scarcely known by name to the general reader, and Indian art and architecture are regarded as grotesque and unfamiliar. More and more, however, we are beginning to realize the innumerable contacts, throughout the course of history, between East and West, and their mutual indebtedness in language, literature, art, and philosophy. As time goes on, it will be increasingly realized that a knowledge of the history and culture of India is essential to the foundation of a proper understanding of the origin and growth of Western civilisation. The intellectual debt of Europe to Sanskrit literature, already great, may well become greater in the course of years. (P : 36, 37) -- H. G. RAWLINSON. (…)”

Many achievements of Indian civilization remain unparalleled. Where an Indian dies abroad forever remains a corner of India…

The childhood
Nature said:
Each life contains sad days, joyful days, lost days and depressed days. Time never stops and cannot be stopped where with time always moves on and we also, someday have to move on.

The childhood

\'I never ought to be lonely,
but time had to bring that slowly.\'
indeed, eventually it comes down to us
and those memories that keep us warm
in those cold winter\'s of life..
(such a relatable theme
wonderfully written, thanks for sharing)

The road not taken
orchidee said:
You took that road now?!
We don\'t know where we may end up - on a level path, or in a ditch, on a path not travelled before.
I see the other meaning too - which path in life to take?
