Though I am far away from my motherland and sleeps on a strange soil. <br />My dream is the mother of pearl and my laments in mother tongue always. <br />My dear brothers and sisters, <br />Why you raise weapons against your own brothers? <br />We live together and die together <br />And what is the purpose of struggling to make boundaries on this tiny heart? <br />When this heartbeat stops we all go to the common graveyard! <br />That journey too we can go together peacefully <br />As the earth knows we all are in the same family. <br /> <br />Dedication to the Portuguese author Jose.Maria.Eca de Queiros for his superb novel ' The sin of father Amaro'<br /><br />nimal dunuhinga<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/onus-for-one-s-native-country/
