Unity in Diversity

All Indians are my brothers and sisters

and I love them in equal measure

Every caste, creed and gender.

Every person I meet

with respect I greet

Without grinding my teeth!

I open my eyes wide

For there is nothing to hide!

But my tongue; it tries to speak

And it speaks too much!

Of “reality” and such.

It winds and twists facts

in search of truths to seek

And I don’t know what to do with it!

It has no place to be

So I take my talking tongue

and tuck it safely

in my cheek!
