Mother India

Mother India, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

a sacred land where
the river ganges flows
a land where peace
prosperity grows
a land of equality
that draws us close
mother India
as everyone knows
the land of love
that god himself chose
religious harmony
as it glows
terrorism we oppose
ready to battle
unto death
with our foes
a fitting reply
we enclose
cross border
terrorism
of our neighbor
we expose
non state actors
mercenaries
living under their nose
misplaced jihad
in modern clothes
