Greatness
Greatness of a nation and her people
Rests not in her fire-belching mouth
Emanates not from huge stomach of her granaries
Appears not in lethal power of her spears
Twitters not from upstairs of her thinkers but
Nightingales from the beauty of her values
Enriched, nurtured and suckled
Systematically from the breasts of God
Scattered by winds of divine grace
