Dream 2.0
by Pranab Ghosh / April 4th, 2021
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!
