Friendship - The Best Culture

T.A. Ramesh (India, 21/10/06)

The intruders plundered the riches of the nations and spread their culture;
They introduced their language and religion through schools and hospitals;
They developed science and technology and reaped materialistic benefits;
When the nations woke up, they left the split nations to fight forever!

Spiritually developed Eastern nations  still struggle socio-economically;
Ignorance, disease, poverty keep those nations still in quagmire;
Heavy population of the new nations starve, suffer and struggle;
In addition to this, the exploiter nations spread pollution and disease
Advising the developing nations to protect environment for world safety!

Struggling nations easily succumbed to the tricks of the communist intruders;
Wherever communist ideals dominated there all stagnation deep rooted;
Communist dictatorship put the nations in desolation and deprivation;
At long last again many nations woke up to see reality eye to eye and
Threw out communist dictators to breathe liberty with hopes of prosperity.

After the two World Wars modern world broke into two blocs:
One half supporting America and the other half supporting Russia;
Militarisation of the two blocs vied with each other for weapons;
Land, water, air became the testing sites for Nuclear Weapons!

Spy net works watched each other the installations of Nuclear Weapons;
Fear, suspicion and envy kept alive Cold War between the two blocs;
Many governments were toppled, puppet rulers installed then and there;
Through their satellite nations they often waged wars to test their might.

Soon the world destroying weapons the two Super Powers developed;
Then only they realized both could not survive if they used such weapons!
They realised too it was better to settle their differences through friendship;
So, friendship became the best culture to be adopted among world nations.
