U for Unanimous

Unanimous in our greed,
Unanimous in our desire,
Unanimous in our wants,
Unanimous in our misty mire,

Why can't we be unanimous
in our dislike for dark terror?
Why can't we be unanimous
in our peaceful perceptions about humanity?

Unanimous in love,
Unanimous in creation,
Unanimous in death,
Unanimous in recreation,

Why can't we be unanimous
in our prayers to the Almighty?
Why can't we be unanimous
in joy and hope?

Are we really unanimous at all?

    Unfortunately or fortunately no five fingers are same...in difference there lies a solution and unity

    Yes, Tarun. I suppose so. It is a fact which is hard to accept.

    Thanks so much for dropping by.

    Great post and words for the day -- and so true, fortunately or unfortunately, as Tarun has written.
    Thanks for joining us again for ABC!

    Hi Sylvia,

    Thanks. And yes, we are constantly divided about so many things. A real pity.

    It's my pleasure to write for ABC.

    Hi Brenda,
    Yes, definitely. In spite of being born as humans we have so many things dividing us. Or should I say, we induce this kind of division with our thoughts and prejudices.

    Hi Gattina,

    Most of us love to disagree. It's normal human trait!

    Nice reflections, Shail. Sadly, such one-ness is utopian.I share your feelings.

    Thanks Deepika. Nice to see you here.

    Glad you liked the poem. But as you said, being unanimous is seldom seen as desirable, selfish that we are as humans....
