About this piece
Unity in diversity. The beauty lies in quality in diversity.
A Literary thread for the Quilt of Common Wealth
“United, we stand
Divided, we fall”.
Reconciled, we understand our fellowbeings.
On retreating, we invite crisis.
Being selfish is to surrender.
To become generous is to share the boon.
To realize empathy is to love all the humanbeings.
To evolve for better capability is the gift of Nature.
For better thinking and performance.
Three colours, giving rise to seven -
resulting in innumerable colours.
The wealth of Nature is for all to enjoy.
Nobody can create air, water and soil.
Nobody should become a selfish brute.
To enjoy with the minimum quantum,
Ensures the safety and preservation
Of Nature’s Divinity for protecting,
All living being without any discrimination.
