Different

The world with different faces

Asks me-

"Where do I belong?"

I have two eyes, a nose

And a mouth, a face

Just like yours, but different;

I speak, I think, I eat

Different.

A land soaked with

Blood and sweat of my people,

Do not ask why different?

The raven black that flies away,

That nestle their eggs;

Never asks for identification.

This land of human migration,

This country of Aryan, Mongolian,

Dravidian,

Never asks the birds why

Different?

To this I must say-

The loss is mine,

Not raven's.

The world collapses in prejudice;

For what did I gain,

Being human?
