Indian

a poem by Mohamed Nizar

High up in air and
deep down on earth;
Away far in desert
and way back in forest;
Amidst a crowd of riches
and between the street slums;
Middle of the sea or
in the busy street;
I am proud of my country,
and proud to be its citizen.
I would say with my head high:
I am an Indian.
