Heterodoxy

My first attempt at a piece of verse, from when I was in my 11th standard. I don't remember all of it, but wanted to share what I do.

No walls separate one man from another,
No ill-feelings we carry,
No ill-feelings for one another,
And we speak in voices free

We don't say-
I, You, He or She,
We say 'We' - In unison!
Communion is decree

This is all a dream,
And truth is reality,
Pandora opened the box of troubles,
And there's wide-spread calamity

'Hope' still comes to preserve our integrity,
Making our dreams real for posterity


* 'Hope' is the fairy that came out last from Pandora's 'Box of Troubles'
