Talk Of Love To People Poem by Kiran Pillai

What if I become a leader today?
Will I still talk of love to people?
Or will I plan some missions for them
That will keep them busy for a while...

What if I lead a district today?
Will I talk of love to my people?
Tell them to conserve nature
And keep the noise levels down

What if I lead an NGO today?
Will I talk of love to my people?
Tell them to mind their own stuff
And not just spread ads all around.

What if I lead a bank today?
Will I talk of love to my people?
Tell them not to waste money around
And gamble with people's lives.

What if I lead a hospital today?
Will I talk of love to my people?
Tell them to just relax and eat well
Instead of having pills all their lives.

What if I lead a school today?
Will I talk of love to my people?
Tell them to live life dharmically and safely
Instead of indulging in grade transactions.

What if I lead a religion today?
Will I talk of love to my people?
Interpret the sacred texts sacredly
Instead of making competition sacred.

What if I lead no one today?
Will I talk of love to just myself?
Watch people doing their thing all day
And just wish them well. Smile and be nice!
