HUMAN HAPPINESS

poem by: Shanta
Written on Aug 11, 2016

Human Happiness

Animated by the memory
Of ancient wisdom
Democracy depicted
Human Happiness 
As practical life -
Life lived in a society 
For that society,

Nineteen century science
Bent on materialism
Obstructed Man's
Imagination -
Separating
Oneness into
Matter and Light

Rampant materialism
In all walks of life
Depicting
Non quantitative
Spiritual knowledge;
As soft purring 
Of a dreaming cat,

In the hands of those
With vocation for
Ending humanity’s nightmare,
The possibility 
Of forth dimension and over -
A Bengali Tiger held by its tail 
The Source of new

The New
You never heard before!
