Is this Freedom of Expression

Mumbai bomb blast Mahim Station 11 th July 2006

 

 

 

 

 

Freedom of expression is fine

 

You don’t draw caricature s

 

Of the Holy Prophet and

 

Disrespect the Divine

 

Or Cartoons

 

on the sands of Karbala

 

in blood by shimr and yazid

 

was way out of line

 

a single Hussain

 

they could not outshine

 

 

 

Freedom of expression is fine

 

If I respect yours

 

and you respect mine

 

I don’t call you a pig

 

You don’t call me a swine

 

Man is mortal

 

Humanity

 

the most holiest Shrine

 

 

 

Freedom of expression is fine

 

But not bombs on human souls

 

No part of any godly design

 

Man to man

 

Through religious venom

 

Don’t malign

 

And lets live in peace

 

terror decline

 

 

 

helping each other

 

our human credentials define

 

a new hope for

 

our unborn children assign

 

freedom of expression is fine

 

if love and peace together combine

 

what is yours is also mine

 

a single world

 

good thoughts

 

good actions entwine
