Lay me not

This poem is dedicated to Rabbi Shergill....from whom i freely accept this poem is inspired....An ode to the heroes who fought against communalism...

Lay me not in the finite ground,
Lay me not in the immortal seas,
Lay me not where the cross sighs,
Lay me not where Prophet's messenger resides,

Burn me!Burn me to the ground,
And free your mind of all that bounds,
Scatter my ashes all over the skies,
With angels of peace flying by,

Let my message reach every corner,
I beseech the lonely mourner,
Behold!Behold your golden tears,
I understand and sympathasize with your fears,

The world we know is a desolate one,
Fathers no longer care about their sons,
Anarchy is the supreme power,
Everyone is reveling in a blood shower,

But all is not lost yet,i believe,
With honesty and determination built sieve,
We can filter out this sewer,
With our own hands used as the lever,

Let our children be born in a place,
Which is free of caste,creed and race,
Nobody dares to come between,
When words of love are spoken to actually mean,

This is the world i wish to see,
Will you,or will you not,walk with me?
