Malody

Where Clan and Country,
Region and Religion,
Misunderstand, Misread,
Dislike and Fear

I seek hope in the lines of Rabindranath Tagore

Remedy

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the
 dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought
	and action--
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

By Rabindranath Tagore
