Description
Shades of Life
“I pray
To the God
Who has no colour
No race, no religion
With no Bible, no Quran,
And no Geeta.
That one day
I would Like to live in a world
Free from poverty
Free from wars, and
Free from prejudice.
And that we homosapiens
Gather around a bonfire
To recite songs written
By the hands of martyrs
On the paper made from
Our heavenly trees.”
