Patriotism

By Balamurugan K A

A seed planted in a child

That grows with the child.

Watered by love and loyalty

For land and its people.

Branches shove off brutality,

Shielding culture and tradition,

Sheltering the nest of humanity,

Blooming with empathy and courage.

Fruits of brotherhood

Spreads the fragrance of love,

Without loving the people

We can’t love the country.

Roots pierce beyond

The protocols of men,

Made against nature,

To bind as a nation.
