Earth, our nation

Countries need flags to hoist.
To show their identity, pride and order
The wind of nationhood, fresh and moist,
Trumpets and warns, from binding borders.

The earth wanders around,
With its flute, perhaps it also needs a flag,
Neglected it is, without any belonging tag
The source is in search, alone, unbound. 

Big brothers breed poor cousins,
Knotted in meaningless virtues and sins,
Both busy cutting the branch on which we rest,
Determined to make us homeless, from our only nest.

The moving ball, a complete human body, a whole
With ulcer, cancer, tumor, migraine in its parts,
Can we ever heal our own winsome soul?
With its brain ailing, with its wailing heart!

Every part of the earth needs to cure
With our thoughts intelligent, and at ease
The disease will wither in time for sure
Real foreigners, conflict and stress, will forever rest in peace.

When will cousins become siblings!
When will sense in intelligent minds emerge,
To its roots, will the disengaged family ever stretch its wings,
Will all nations in the earth ever converge?

When will it be free from enemies and weapons,
Fighting and killing, for some words and notions,
Wonder, dear earth, if we could ever make a flag for you,
For you might deserve an independence day too.
