Who Are We?

Who are we? 

 

Aren't we related to this country? 

Are we expatriated from the hell? 

Does the Almighty on this earth curse us? 

Why all such humiliations on us? 

Why such partiality on our rights? 

Is it our offence to be born here? 

Why are we deprived of the basic needs? 

If it is our crime, 

We may be imprisoned in dark cells for ever

If our life is a crime against the God and nature

We may be dumped off the earth

I’m asking God against these discriminations

If I am wrong or wrong is my question 

I shall face punishment on this earth

and in the hell as well.
