Manohar Bhatia Hello,
I was reading an article in a newspaper,which started as:::::So Long As..... and then this poem came to me.

So long as the Sun,Moon,Stars shine,
So long as This,and This gives light to thine.

So long as,the heart beats everlastingly,
So long This,and This gives us retreat continiously.

So long as Love in the Universe permeates,
So long This,and This helps earthlings to procreate.

So long as Man & Woman love each other
So lond This,and This keeps Family to-gather.

So long as children play games without ashtrays,
So long This,and This keeps them away from cigarettes!

So long as Father & Son with each other are bonded,
So long This,and This will keep them grounded.

So long as the rivers are gently flowing,
So long This,and This helps crops slowly growing.

So long as M-Law & D-Law are united in understanding
So long This,and This will goad them to become M & D notwithstanding.

So long as there is thruthfulness in thought,word,deed,
So long as This, and This is the ideal life we need!

So long as your kite is flying in the air,
So long This,and This is your glider at the Fair!

So long as there are Poets in this world,
So long as This,and This is where Poetry will be created in this world.

So long as Death is at your door-step,
So long This,and This is your moment of truth for your last stop!

Manohar,
this poem has a song-like quality to it, the refrain keeps you interested in coming back again and again.

Teresa Mahieu So long as you remain at Ryze,

Loved your poem, it contains many truths and has a nice flow.

Jack Huber The couplets format and the repeated phrases really make a reader think. Well done.

Manohar Bhatia Hello,
I thank all of you who commented on the poem.However,on second thought,I propose to make a change in this couplet:::::::::::::::::::::::

"So long as children play games without ashtrays,
So long This,and This cigarettes them not to go astray!"

I have used 'cigarettes' as a form of verb;please correct me if I am wrong.Thanks.
