Motherland

Can a stem alienate itself from its roots?

No! It would face death

Can I alienate myself from my motherland? No.

My heart would stop hammering

Life into my beat ...

Can I alienate myself

From the agony of pain?

When I see poverty, hunger,

vile corruption, greed

And thousands of tiny mouths to feed?

No, I cannot wish the reality away.

I have to serve, I have to stay.

My roots have to stay

Like the roots of the banyan tree

Strong and exposed

Willing to take the onslaughts

And nurture positive thoughts

To do good for the motherland I love.
