Dream 2.0

Dream of a place where
There is no bloodshed,
No hunger, no job loss
And no unemployment

Dream of a place where
Man is not made to
Fight man in the name of
Nationalism and religion,
Caste, breed and birth

Dream of a place where
There is brotherhood of man

Dream of a place where
There are no narrow
Boundaries dividing man

Dream of a place where
No jackboots and bayonets
Keep peace

Dream of a place where
No wall of barbed wire
Is driven through your heart

Dream of a place where
Mothers do not cry for
Their ‘lost’ sons

Dream…
Dream…
Dream…

Maybe one day
Your dream
Will come true!
