We Are Sailing

by Joyjit Sengupta
(Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India)

This is my story
Could well be yours
We are in the same river
On different boats
Sailing out to the sea

We have sailed before
We are sailing again
The sun never sets
It’s the earth spinning
That does the trick

With the waves
We rise and fall
Our boats keep moving on
Never say this is mine
That is yours

Don’t be penny wise
And pound-foolish
We are one world
One people
