We’re Indians First And Lastly!

We’re Indians firstly! And that’s the way, we’re known all o’er the globe; And that is what we tell the world around; This is our primary identity. We’re Indians firstly! We may belong to any state by birth; Then come our language, creed, community; We’re Indians primarily! We’re Indians firstly! United are we by the tricolor; The soil is one, though states be many; We’re Indians basically! We’re proud of our rich our Indian heritage; Our thirst is quenched by rivers of India; Our hunger is appeased by crops grown here; We’re Indians first and ultimately! Let none dare try to sow seeds of discord; The Indian’s free to live in any state; When asked, let always be our reply, ‘We’re Indians firstly! God gave one sun and moon to all of us; We live under the sky, our common roof; We enjoy freedom got by same ‘Struggle’! We’re Indians all, firstly! We’re Indians firstly! Our patriotism is Indianness; Our pride’s in being born as Indians; We’re Indians first and lastly! All Indians are our brothers and sisters; We love our fellowmen as our brethren; Same blood of oneness flows within us all; We’re Indians first, always, ultimately! ‘Jai Hind! Jai Bharat! Jai bharatiya! Jai bharatvaasi! Copyright by Dr John Celes 6-2-2010
