True Civilization - A Poem By Dr Trilok Kumar Jain
Quest for all
What is civilization?
Who spreads it?
How is it created?
There lies the foundation
The root of our civilization
Family and its values
Binding us like a glue
To live in one house
Doesnt make a family.
to care together,
to understand one another—
That makes the family.
Lakshman walked with Ram.
He gave his sleep.
He gave his ease.
He guarded his brother.
That was family.
Sita shared sorrow.
Bharat bore pain.
Each sacrifice a thread.
Each thread a bond.
That is family.
Respect is its pillar.
Affection is its lamp.
Care is its fragrance.
Love is its song.
Three generations,
under one roof,
are not a burden.
They are a blessing.
They are a school.
They are a civilization.
Without the family,
a house is stone.
Without the family,
a life is hollow.
Without the family,
our nation is weak.
In our family—
elders guide,
children learn,
youth serve,
hearts unite.
Revive this truth.
Hold it close.
For in the years to come,
the family may fade.
If it fades,
civilization will fall.
Save the root.
Save the bond.
Save the family.
Save the world.
