WORLD IS A FAMILY?
(International day of families15 May 2025)
Can we consider world as a family?
All citizens as siblings so lovely!
This can only be an impractical dream
As unfulfilled it would seem.
Why would we then have wars
For power or land between nations
Or resources like oil gas or mineral
Likely in future for water as well?
Nations are spending billions
To upgrade their military strengths
Only to safeguard their borders
As per international agreements.
Air Sun's heat light have no borders
They spread across all nations
Equally without any sort of fuss
By their position on earth's surface.
First mentioned in ancient Indian scriptures truly
'Vasudaiva kutumbakam' meaning world as one family
It was adopted as theme in a G20 meeting
Proposing nations to adopt it's meaning.
Hopefully nations will work to assuage
To share the ill effects of climate change
Economic disparities and health disorders
To bring equanimity in different regions.
