GARDEN

           -Kandepi Rani Prasad

 
Jasmines, We the Jasmines
Our bodies white
Symbol of peace
In enchanting flower plaits
Scents and fragrances
Equals to us, none
 
China Roses ! We the China Roses
Our bodies blood red
Symbol of consciousness
Give grandeur even singly
To temple deities
None, to compete with us.
 
Chrysanthums ! We the Chrysanthums
Our bodies all yellow
Symbol of auspiciousness
For Festoons or garlands
For worship
None better than us.
 
No more ! No more !
Caste conflicts
Racial differences
None for us
 
Brothers and sisters all
Bloomed in telugu courtyard
Let’s live together
Hand in hand
Shall move ahead
