I don't want a temple
A mosque or a church
(we have already far too many of those)
I don't want ghosts from the past
Casting their dark shadows
...On a wakening generation
I don't want a land
That feeds on hatred and fear
I don't want my tomorrows
To carry the burdens of unforgiving yesterdays
I pray for oneness beyond divisive creed
For wiser counsel than our forefathers had
For an India of our children's dreams.
