One Common Language! Poem by Ramesh T A

In a multi-lingual nation, one or two languages
The govt. may use for administrative purposes
Including the national anthem in a language no
Other language speakers may decipher at all....!

Yet, all businesses are going on with people using
The languages they know not knowing the official
National language or ever trying to learn that one
With so many other languages just spoken only...!

In a secular democratic country, no one language
Can ever be imposed on other languages speaking
People, whose languages should be given opportunity
To be officially used for maintaining national integrity!

Having one common language for all people is surely
Impossible to practise unless all unanimously accept it!
