Deependra Kumar Jha - A desire to excel

Imagine there was no country
No borders to protect
No temptation to destroy 'others'
World as a single country
Wonder what to feel proud of!

Imagine there was no religion
No selfish feeling around
No reason to diffuse hate
Humanity as a single religion
Wonder what to die for!

Imagine there was no caste or sect
No superiority or inferiority feelings
No incentive for discrimination
Everyone with a desire to excel
Wonder what can disunite us!

(We extend our deepest condolence to all those who lost their lives in the Mumbai (India) terror attack on 26 November,2008. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the victims’ families. Lets stand united and pray together. Lets act towards a peaceful and prosperous world.)
