National Integration

a poem by Mathangi Venkatesan

Divided we fall, united we stand,
Religious discrimination should be banned
To the poor give a helping hand
And make India a better land.

The strength we should gain
For India that is the main
There should be no suffering and pain,
And, ofcourse no brain drain.

Is there true integration today?
Are all the people happy and gay?
A price for everything we pay
Sad, yet it is true today.

Fights amongst caste, and bomb blast
On integration a shadow of doubt cast,
In our country which is vast.
How can we improve very fast?

Was a great country in the past
Epics and legends to last,
The hardships with courage we bear,
The glory of the nation only we care.

Let us divide the river water,
And not be divided by the river water;
Let us not be divided by the land
But stand united on this land.

Let us join our hearts and mind,
To the poor the rich be kind
With love we shall bind
India on top we shall find.
