Utopia

go away, far faraway
find a land as i say

no matter the sun,no matter the rain
no matter the soil or barren land
matters most the humble occupants
the flight of birds, the roar of beasts
the lush green,tall trees, meadow all alike
differ what the souls that reside

go away ,far faraway
find me a place

where kindness mingle in blood so deep
hatred makes a man weak
where 'divide on hide' 
rides the doom's slide
where jealousy is sin
selfish devil's kin
where down in deep hole
the corrupt souls are thrown
where animosity is alien
sadness is gone, love born

where no black,brown or white
better make me colour-blind
religions mingle in peace
no racism, hatred no more!
no gun in my soldier's hand
no need of bloodspat
be all friends, holding each other's hand

a place we can sit in peace
no terror, no gruesome act
no evil's pact
where you and me are 'we'
humanity in all its beauty
love, wisdom, work our duty

a place like Eden's twin
down from heaven, round the sun to spin

but fool of me!
to ask for an impossible deed
such treasure land not found, but formed
together 'we' shall create that land
cleanse our soul of all filth
open our mind to optimism
once ourselves purged
then tell them all
no more racism, no more narrow nationalism
no more terror in religion's name
stern! tell all what we want
no more hatred and war
stop fussing on colors few
lets see a world full of shades new

such mighty task,need soul and sweat
our love, wisdom, optimism,courage
utopia living! no more a fantasy
so shall we all,create that land
where our future'll be shining bright
proud and praising the hard work of our present.
