Where is the nation heart; if we are smart walking symbols of tribes?
Where is the nation heart; if we are the supreme executors of Jaffer Nimeri lifelong segregate project?
Where is the nation heart; if someone mere hallucination is the best national
plan?
Where is the nation heart; if some bungalows are clearly decorated with economic and political exploitation?
Where is the nation heart; if one’s qualifications are ignore because of his
facial outlooks?
Where is the nation heart; if we proudly presume the titles of tribal
representatives?
Where is the national heart; if few imagine their schemes to be the best national
proposals?
Where is the nation heart; if citizens’ rights are sorted according to their economic and political category?
Where is the nation heart; if one is judge and isolated because of his language
accent?
Where is the nation heart; if one’s opinion is correlates to his household
and community?
Where is the national heart; if personal business is clearly projected as a national
business?
Where is the nation heart; if one is deny a house rental because of where
he comes from?
Where is the nation heart; if people hide their identities in order to
get privileges?
Where is the nation heart; if one is given mark in order to isolate him from
the rest?
Where is the nation heart; if people disadvantages are their
own delicate dilemma?
Where is the nation heart; if one is make a victim because of his appearance
and originality?
Where is the nation heart; if the state number plate mischievously designates
who the owner is?
And If I may ask, where is the nation heart; if citizens’ basic and essential services are
reroute to personal projects and investments?
Find the nation heart in the peace hole.
