Happy Mother’s Day!
Tribute to Motherhood and Mother Nature.
Life begins with you in your womb
You bear pain and pleasure during gestation
Not without risks, the process of procreation
Sadly sometimes lead some to the tomb
Oh! Mother you never cease to care.
Like the cool breeze on ocean waves
Your love and warmth calm the nerves
There is nothing to worry about dearth
For you provide necessary comfort upon birth
Oh! Mother you never cease to share.
Learning starts with your able gentle guidance
You show the way to maintain balance
There is much more about your wisdom
Could not be expressed in subtle freedom
Oh! Mother you never cease to spare.
Laughter and joy experienced in your presence
You soothe any sorrows with your patience
There is seamless attribute in your magnanimity
Selflessness and sacrifice exemplify your inherent purity
Oh! Mother you never cease to dare.
Lucky are those who receive your kindness
You are strength to many seeking forgiveness
There is reason to appreciate your commitment
You are dependable in leading towards enlightenment
Oh! Mother you touch upon infinite creature.
Luscious meadows and majestic hills represent serenity
Your charm and grace equally enhance beauty
There is symmetry in your sacred rhythm
The rainbow emerging from sunlight through prism
Oh! Mother your elegance reveals beautiful nature.
Lavender, roses and jasmine with sweet fragrance
Your breathtaking landscape and pleasantness highlight magnificence
There is melody conforming to natural symphony
Perhaps stimulating inner vibrancy in perfect harmony
Oh! Mother earth you deserve endless nurture.
Luminous sky decorated with twinkling stars galore
You arouse excitement parallel to amusing folklore
There is sparkling diamond signify your brilliance
The bright moonlight on glaciers reflect radiance
Oh! Mother your glory honored in rapture.
Peace to all!
Thank you.

United States – Happy Thanks Giving! (2013)

Thanks Giving provides reason to reflect on events and express gratitude for benefits and gains even though such appreciation at any time rather than on special occasion would promote better relations in society.
The Native American tradition honoring earth for bountiful crops demonstrated importance on planet protection that in return guarantee good harvest, clean air and water – the necessities in life.
Environment preservation abandoning pursuits and techniques contributing to pollution and contamination could reverse the trend from disasters to positive development.
The contemporary practice fomenting violence through warfare, terrorism and use of nuclear component attributed to habitat destruction and species extinction.
The endless wars involving chemical attacks and nuclear proliferation comprising missile testing on deserts and oceans cause ecological imbalance with ripple effects on food chain.
Industrialization encroachment on rain forests in Amazon and African savannah with deforestation, over fishing and poaching activities respectively impact conditions essential to sustain life.
The persistent abuse of land, air and sea aimed at natural resource depletion ignores the adversity endangering existence of all beings including those responsible for the detriment.
Thanks giving originating from culture that worshipped nature prevalently disregard the requirement to contain icecaps melting in the Arctic and Antarctic, soil erosion leading to massive flooding and mountaintop removal with dynamites for mining…despite serious repercussions experienced worldwide.
The ordinary custom extending beyond meeting and greeting family as well as friends on this holiday pledging support to national, humanitarian and environment cause would exemplify individual and collective duty incumbent on inhabitants.
Whenever the source generating life and energy confronted with systemic violation of standards due to excess greed, the valleys and rivers nurturing plants and diverse species begin to decline decreasing survival opportunity.
The immediate priority is to save the treasure cove under water, on ground surface and in the sky to avert catastrophic weather producing economic problems with infrastructure and livelihood damage.
Neglecting earth would mean denying sanctuary along with supplementation and salvation process.
Whether Keystone XL pipelines project in the United States or global nuclearization – these decisions threaten evolution with risks outweighing economic and political prospects now and in the future.
Evidently conservation with appropriate actions expanding green revolution is the viable solution to safeguard biodiversity.
Happy Thanks Giving!
Peace to all!
Thank you.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks Giving – an occasion to express gratitude to family, community and nation at large for benevolence and service except,
The prevalent practice is lacking in reciprocation especially by those deriving benefits from others’ sacrifice and trust.
Traditionally the native inhabitants of this great land –America acknowledged Mother Nature for bountiful crops and produce in the harvest season.
The selfless beings then shared fruits of labor amongst the known and unknown spreading kindness and generosity to emphasize the gift of giving.
Unfortunately, today the expectations to receive the most exceeds the necessity to provide the least – largely emanating from greed and insolence overriding fairness concept without boundaries and self-restraint.
Conscientious actions prevent upheavals that otherwise eventually affects the doer for not heeding moral guidance from within.
The deliberate course to inflict pain and suffering on vast majority despite opportunity to reverse trend depicts individual slight for endowed reasoning faculty resulting in personal doom based on poor judgment, false sense of security and confidence.
Deeds performed for greater good against paradoxical paradigm succinctly eliminates misconceptions on virtuosity delivering pervasive positive outcome.
The contemporary world paralyzed with stalemate on every solvable issue is predominantly due to myopic perception and magnified exclusive interests at significant plight depleting resources and human elements again ultimately to the source detriment.
Multidimensional perspectives in observance of the day earmarked to appreciate others dedication is primarily attributed to –
Reap what one sows in life underscoring empathy towards common goals as the enhanced quality.
Although the recipient in daily life has many to be thankful for beginning with parents,
The treatment of women in particular violating human dignity and respect arguably raises the legitimacy factor for those behind the abhorrent act –
Whether their emergence and existence possible without maternal ordeal in child bearing and rearing more often prolonging into adulthood demonstrated in reprehensible crimes such as sexual assault of women in any setting?
Sincere regard for own mother as life emblem would prohibit abusive conduct against women in recognition of their identity i.e. mother, daughter and sister…in human relations.
Simultaneously posing the question for reaction upon their family subjected to similar disgrace given the female role as mother, wife, sister, daughter, granddaughter, daughter-in-law and mother-in-law…in a civilized society.
Besides dishonoring women by use of force and violent means denigrates perpetrators diminishing in human values and stature.
Society progress is reflected in inclusive political representation, equal rights and justice premised on – None above the law.
Altruism enriches human character in the commitment to national and public service.
Instead authoritarianism depriving freedom of expression, peaceful assembly not withstanding free and fair elections is maintained for dominance.
Thanksgiving is not merely a reminder for beneficiaries to remember and honor members in the family and community.
It is an indicator for checks and balances refining the art of living.
Outreach to assist not just the next of kin but also anyone near and far promoting compassion to human tragedies all around.
Political leaderships delivering campaign promises with honesty and integrity through effective policies would address citizens and country’s requirements.
Economic sector investments on workers and employees long-term employment with appropriate income distribution for collective productivity could clear the persistent overcast on job prospects.
Military confined to defending national territory rather than infringe on citizens’ rights undermining sovereignty would exemplify discipline – the hallmark of defense academy.
Religious leaders focus on national unity and communal harmony clarify the spiritual purpose in life.
Finally, Thanksgiving could not be more profound than global society holistic approach to environment protection leading to universal peace and prosperity.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Peace to all!
Thank you.
