Change Them as Humans
POETRY FORMAT, 29 Dec 2014
Dr. M. Ashaq Raza – TRANSCEND Media Service
A poem written on conversions especially in India.
Don’t change their religion
Change them, if you can
To be good humans
Improve their conditions
Without any conditions
Give them jobs, education
Work for poverty alleviation
Why charity after conversion
Why no sympathy as humans
Beautiful is every religion
Have we if a believer vision
Served the purpose of ALL religions
Make if we ourselves good humans
So unnecessary are conversions
Change them, just as humans
