Be Proud. Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

Be proud to be who you are,
Be proud to have the shades of color,
Shroud of doubts to clear,
Seeds of hope to plant and prosper,
Religions are to follow,
Fanatics are to the hollows,
Never be ashamed to say your race,
For we have crossed various phases,
We are born equal naturally,
We will decay equal biologically,
We will return what we acquire,
Whatever acquired is not ours,
Too much indulgence too bad,
For it makes us too sad.
