Love Thy Neighbor

On a sunny morning, walking past the green trees

Enjoying the beauty of nature, the sky and the breeze

Adoring the creation, the rising and setting of the sun

A moment when of no hatred, or the use of the sword or gun

The naughty squirrel, the active bird, dwelling in the common abode

Side by side, in love and peace, enmity is something none can afford

Playful by nature, freedom since birth

The bird chases the squirrel, and the latter runs forth

How pitiable is man, O LORD of all, so hateful and so small

Uncountable similarities exist, and yet no love for all

They look the same, they talk the same, they even sing the same

Inspite of this hatred persists, for logics so lame

Nothing to share, and still together, present for each other

Lets hope from them we learn, how to Love Thy Neighbor

i sent this poem to http://www.poetry.com , and they nominated me for "poet of the year 2003 award". Well obviously I didn't get it (LOL ) but they put up my poem on their website. If u go to http://www.poetry.com , and type "Sharma" under "last name" and "Rochak" under "first name", u can see it .
