Heaven on earth
We are united and divided,
As we follow different paths.
We are united and divided,
As we speak different languages.
We are united and divided,
As we follow different cultures.
We are united and divided,
As we follow different nationalities.
We are together united,
As we long for peace and harmony,
As we long for good health,
As we long for good prosperity,
As we long for heaven.
Why can't we forget our differences,
To experience Heaven on earth,
Probably a utopian dream,
That we can only pray for,
Irrespective of our differences.
By Sriram Kasturi
