Poem: Patriotism

LET US SING

Patriotism

Will we live in a country,

Without inner boundaries?

Will we treat everyone alike,

Or will we show our dislike?

Will we stick to our core in,

Or will we become foreign?

Yes, we love our nation,

Divided when seen as persons

Yes, we have different language,

Yet, our integrity shouldn’t damage.

Will we make our mother proud,

Or be with her like the crowd?

Learn how to be kind,

And love each of her child.
