My country–is the best
Aug 2010 Contest, English Poetry |
Like many an Indian
I am very proud
to own my place in my nation
as a ‘Bharatiya’ or an Indian to be loved
and shared its civilization,
culture, heritage and brotherhood.
Being equally proud of its diversity
magnificent landscapes and places of pilgrimage,
decorated by rivers,majestically
flowing Ganges, Godavari and Arabian sea
singing lullabies to the mighty
Himalayas, Vindhya and Sahyadri mountain range.
I would like to share its joy
sorrow and uniqueness to imbibe
its ideals, deep thoughts, spirituality
principles and policy of non alliance.
An Indian finds integrity
through India’s varied languages,
customs, views and variety
in castes and religions.
Indian sons and daughters are great,
as they are revered by other nations.
India’s old generation and the youth
surprisingly, contribute towards integration
through various means and measurement;
No doubt, through mutual wedlock, the dissolution
of differences is gained among the South and the North–
Indians bringing out deeper integration.
My country– is the best
has a sublime place in the east
tries to pursue all good things, first
to hold reputation in the world, not the least,
respecting all forms of art
good and valuable, close to the heart.
