Wealth of the nation
lies in the harmony
among its civilians
and certainly not
in the colossal
concrete skyscrapers.
No matter how tall
the buildings are, with
a sudden jerk of
an earthquake, it would
scatter into pieces.
But no matter how minute
the harmony among
the civilians are
not the greatest calamities
could quiver the nations root.
whoa you kinda surprise me with your insightfulness
it doesn't take away from your poetics
you have a great combination in your style
it does stand out....
Everything is delicately balanced isnt it......unfortunately goverments are judged by the wealth of their nation, the biggest, the brightest the most expensive....greed...but is the population happy...do they care? It will come tumbling down.
Wise words.

Bhuwan, your words are oh so true...man has paid too measure on material possessions...great write...Fletcher B
Such beautiful wisdom here, Bhuwan, and so architecturally penned with skill and definition. Tension in all the right places, so it stands in a kind of algebraic form, like the artwork which signals it. Brilliant! The infrastructure of community is the nation's strength, not an outward show of prowess. Materialism is a bankrupted philosophy. Thank you for this timely write. Kate xx
Important meaningful poetry Bhuwan!
You always make your wisdom sing;-)!
Bravo!

Bhuwan.. You have completely transfixed me with your wisdom, here. This should be required reading throughout this country.. a 'wake-up' call to so many who have chosen materialism and monetary wealth over the love and understanding of a neighbor, a friend. This is the gentlest, yet most powerful definition of true patriotism I've read. We ARE the people... and it's WE whom we fight to preserve, not those buildings or those titles of power; it's our "harmony" that makes us free and American. This goes to my library immediately! Beautiful poem. katy xox.
Married ten years, and more in love than ever, Robert and Marcie have everything to live for. But a terrible secret is breaking Robert's heart: he knows that Marcie is about to die...
