A Letter

Dipping my pen,
in the inkpots of Sun and Moon,
I am writing to you all
my ruler friends!
Before you start firing bullets,guns and atoms,
read this letter.
My scientist friends,
before making bullets,guns and atoms,
read this letter.
Words of stars
and language of rays,
if you cannot read,
ask some lovers to read it for you,
ask some writer to read it for you,
or ask your beloved to read it for you.
Its is every mother's mother tongue,
get this letter read from any mother.
Moon and Sun are two inkpots,
lift your pen,
reply to this letter,
and write a word or two,
about the well-being of this earth.
My ruler friends,my scientist friends.

-Amrita Pritam.
