POEM ON NATIONAL INTEGRATION

• For too long a time,

• This has been going on,

• People are fighting each other,

• With daggers drawn.

• A Hindu is a Hindu,

• A Christian a Christian,

• So too the Muslims, but

• Nobody is an Indian.

•  

• Today patriots are rare,

• Men there are more,

• Who are willing to die,

• For reasons not to adore.

•  

• Therefore, my dear friends,

• ‘Tis the only solution,

• That we heartily adopt,

• Nothing but national integration,

• Just think of the day,

• When caste won’t matter,

• Merit would reign, not

• Religion, creed or colour.

• When God is one,

• And we his children,

• Why should it be that

• Anybody is different.

• So, let us all live,

• In peace and harmony,

• And see our country shine,

• In all its glory.

•[Remembering Mahatma, and all the other great martyrs]
