Can You?



Beat. Beat. 
His heart. My heart.
 At same place. 

Hear. Hear.
 With your ears. 
Can you tell us our religion by our heartbeats?

 No! You Can’t. 

Touch. Touch. 
His Skin. My Skin. 
By your hands. 

Color. Color. 
Fair. Dusky. 
Can you tell us our religion by perceiving our skin tone? 

No! You Can’t. 

See. See.
Through our eyes, this beautiful world. 

Same. Same. 
Isn’t the world same? 
Can you tell us, our religion by watching this world through our eyes? 

No, You Can’t. 

Flow. Flow. 
His veins. My veins. 
the red blood. 

Mix. Mix. 
Mix our blood.
 Can you tell us, to which religion this hybrid blood belong?

 No, you Can’t. 

Rain. Rain. 
His wet body. My wet Body. 
Soaked in water. 

Drop. Drop. 
Yes, we felt the same water drops.
Can you tell me, Which religion made these water drops?

No! You Can’t. 
Name. Name. 
His surname. My Surname. 
Combine both. 

Read. Read. 
Tell us, to which religion we belong? 

Yes. Now, you can.

Judge. Judge. 
Hindu. Muslim. Christian. Sikh. 
Tag us with these division. 

Fill. Fill. Fill our mind with discrimination. 
Will you succeed? 

No, you won’t. 
We are no fool, we are youth. 
We belong to humanity. 
Say it a religion, name it a God. 
Tag with whatever name you want,
 it won’t affect us, as we are attached with an invincible chord.
