Poem : I Love Shillong

Image
I love Shillong, I love Shillong, And yes, I love Shillong. Even today I see your image In the canvas of my mind. I love you, Shillong I truly love you. I often think Did God Himself Paint your beauty On the hills ? Shillong, you look beautiful, You really look beautiful. Trees and greenery wrapped Around soothing hills ----- Like a land  from fairly tales. You look wonderful, Shillong,you look wonderful. The sun and clouds Play together all day long. Watching it all, My heart overflows With waves of joy. " Shillong,I love you" My heart whispers aloud. When Waterfalls, Come dancing down the mountains, Every joy within me Starts dancing like waves. Shillong, I love you. You are the jewel In the eyes of thousands of travelers. Even from afar, I still hear your call. And silently I say ----- I will come again, Shillong, I will come to you. Shillong ,I love you, You fill my heart with delight. ----------------------- Poet : Dr. Goutam Kumar Mallick

Poem : O First Scientist




On the path you showed,
we boarded buses,trains
And airplanes,
And reached the land of the atom bomb.

Today we can reach the moon,
none will be amazed
if we set foot on mars.

We can give life,
yet remain busy
in the game of taking lives.
The mask of civilization
falls away
in a sudden gust of wind.

O first scientist,
was it not you
who sowed the seed of civilization ?

Come again
plant a tender sapling anew ---
not outside,
but deep within our veins,
let civilization bloom in blood.
