held together by racial unity.
Our racial unity is like a fragile fabric that is easily torn
by a careless comment or thoughtless taunt.
In a flash igniting a communal clash.
Communal communications must be conducted with care
as though walking up a rickety stair.
Different faiths seek the same entrance at Heaven's Gate.
God is great.
There is no reason to hate
all the things that God create.
The seed of prejudice must find no place
in little children full of grace
who must be encouraged to play with and embrace
children of other faith and race.
Lawmakers must not break
the laws that they make.
Let not the bigot redefine and undermine
the spirit of our Constitution which had been carefully crafted by enlightened minds.
For our future generation we must remain as one nation
free from all forms of discrimination
by statutory deprivation.
To compete and succeed in an unforgiving foreign field,
let us start practising at home an even playing field.
Respecting the rights of our minority
will enhance the worth of our entire society.
Any economic policy must prosper all the poor of our society.
Respect our poor their pride and dignity
charity with sincerity needs no publicity.
That is a trust we all share and bear
to keep our country free and fair.
Our nation's fragile fabric needs our ever vigilant care
to never, never let it tear.
