Ethnic Cleansing

It doesn’t matter what my faith is. It doesn’t matter what my caste is. It doesn’t matter what my complexion is. It doesn’t matter where I live. Above all I am a human That should be taken into account. The wise saying: United we stand Divided we fall Is ignored By so many people! O the angry mob Please don’t go for ethnic cleansing Please don’t shed blood of another human In the name of religion or whatever else. Irrespective of your faith Why don’t you think We are all brothers and sisters To maintain peace? Please think with your brain And feel with your heart It is the only remedy To cure your mind’s disease.

Hi Asif, Your thoughts are good but maybe you can use some metaphors to make your point. For example, maybe ethnic cleansing is stripping a tre from its leaves. Good job.
