Stephen Gill As I Have Known Him

Stephen Gill As a humanist, A peacemaker, A pacifist Have I known him for years, A writer for peace, love and humanism. One from Sialkot, Punjab, He moved to Canada To settle down, But the hang-overs of the motherland He could not Coming out in the form of Nostalgia and remembrance. But it was his faith in humanism, Love and affection Which but upheld him And he never felt dearth of homeliness Rather turning into a world citizen, A lover of mankind in general, Your home is there where you are. Stephen writes the poetry of love, Love and humanism Coming as the running verses Of peace, Buddha teaching him Under the peepul tree, Enlightening him And lo, he too beaming with his joy And radiance!
