Let us be Together


What if I am black and you white?
Why you abuse us and start a fight?
What is it that makes us so different?
Look at us! We are also innocent
With you we live in same gutter
Give it a thought and let us be together
. .
Tell me if it is religion or colour of our skin?
Do you have any reason to fight like sin?
What is it that has created a lacuna?
Even Shrek was married to Fiona
Like you even, I had bread and butter
Give it a thought and let us be together
. .
How many deaths will it take to settle down?
What will happen if everything is drawn?
Who is going to gain and who will loose?
You are the decider you have to choose
with you, we take the same air
Give it a thought and let us be together
. .
What is it that compels you to hate us?
Why rainbow is loosing colours?
Why you hesitate to hold each other’s hand?
Kill your ego! We share same land
like you even, we call her Mother
Give it a thought and let us be together
