Culture Poem by Prafulla Sahu

CULTURE

I think in Oriya
Talk in Hindi
Write in English
I’m an Indian.

I pray Lord Shiva
Send Christmas card
Live close to mosque
I’m the devotee of devotees

I was born in Orissa
Live in Delhi
Travel Kashmir to Cape
I’m a true cosmopolitan

I wear lungi at rest
Shorts at walk
Suits at party
Yet at heart an Indian


My father is Ravi
Mother is Ravina
I’m Ravi Na Gandhi
I love diversity

I’m an Indian
Fly a tricolour
Cherish a rainbow
In the universal sky.
