BHARAT MAHAN

BHARAT MAHAN 

Screams  no one
Hears
Tears, no one
Wipes...
Lives tortured
Lives lost...

And how can we
Call
Ourselves 
Great?

Does law and rule
Count as life
When there
Is no breath
To follow
Either?

Do religious 
Rituals
Mean 
We are all safe
From 
Mindless acts against
Each other
Especially the delicate
And weak?

Yes, we call 
Ourselves great
But how great
Are we 
Really?

Look within
Before eying 
Without...
Fix our faults
Rather than 
Point others' out.

This is how
A  truly great
Nation
Shall be from now
On...

Respect pays respect
Love, finds itself
Tolerance is acceptance
Of every life's worth.

To live and not
Die or be killed!

Thus together, we 
Cam honestly
Be 
Bharat Mahan!
