A mere citizen I am
Of a nation known for its diversity
Unity that runs along
The states, welcomed affectionately.
Having been a part of different cultures
Born in one, studied in different
Living in one, friends from different
The states, welcomed affectionately.
Who I am today
A cultural mix beyond boundaries
Defined through unity
The country, I call mine.
Memories of the pledge came alive
Emotional stir to the National anthem
And I thank as I salute my motherland
A mere citizen I am.
