WHERE IS THAT NATION, DEAR?



Somebody says
That all people of a faith belongs to a nation
And should be send to their original homelands.
I couldn't help wondering-
Where would all Christians be settled then?
All Muslims, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis,
All Brahminists?
What if someone need to live in some place else
Whatever be their reasons
What if people migrate from places of low income
To places with better wages
To places more resourceful from places of scarcity
Well I goddamn don't know where I should live
I just live where I was born
Would it be a crime if it were somebody else?
Would my migrating elsewhere be so?
If it ain't so
Then why should we listen to cries about
Homelands and migrants
Why should we give ear
To the persecutors of minorities
Where ever they come from
And where ever they wanna go or sent others to?

Should we again find deep forests or some wild desert
To resettle immigrants
Who just wanted to better their lives?
As if the repetition of some folly
Would make it out into a law!
Shouldn't we have so much faith in others
As to allow them to share earth with us
After all, what ever the documents and deeds say
This earth belongs as much to the least of its inhabitants
As much as it do to us
And the borders shall come down
And wisdom prevail!
