National Integration

a poem by Nivedita G

India was almost ramshackled,
The People were ignorant and shackled.
There were many, to oppose the alien rule
But it took them decades to become cool.
Now I feel they strove for waste;
Since none thinks of it, ‘cause they are in a haste
Building enemity among different races.

Why do we breed such enemity? Is it very tasty?
Think of the deprived who are thirsty
For love, born out of a lot of calamity.
Every man and culture has equality,
And no man will ever be a master of all.
Be proud to be an INDIAN,
Which has widespread culture ,like the banyan
With each one of us as its supporting roots.

Lets be integrated,
So that we cannot be separated.
Even when times are hard,
Let’s stand together pray to our lord.
Let’s join together in the task of propagation,
Of the seeds of National Integration,
Which is the vitamin for our India to smile at each one of us!
