Do Not Fear The Present Poem by Mohammad Younus

Do not fear the present,
It is painful,
But it is real,
Blood is spilt like water!
And people killed like goats!
Lynched by vigilante groups!
Maimed, blinded, and jailed!
For demanding their rights,
But love for peace, liberty, and...
...humanity must survive,
Follow non violence...
...as your chosen way of life,
Peaceful resistance against injustice...
...you must never eschew...
...as did the Dalits of India;
Enjoy life to the full...
...with dignity and honour,
Coexisting peacefully...
...with all people of the world!
