Thinker's Chronicle

We Shall Overcome

‘It’ has torn the world with strife,
‘It’ has turned the world into a war zone,
As mighty as an ox to fetter the world as never before,
Such is the power of the seminal ‘unknown’.
Although the world is full of suffering,
It is also full of overcoming it,
Have faith in ourselves and extend our hands in aid,
Battle the distrust and hostilities shall evade.
While you might join your hands in prayer, Riyaz offers the namaz,
I bow down in the Gurudwara, and Lara closes her eyes to speak to the Lord,
He never twisted our arms but grabbed our hearts to pray to his soul in a hum,
Together in unity and differences apart, the conflict will end, and we shall overcome.
