I Have a Dream (#Naga_manu_laga_sapna)

By A. Anato Swu | EMN

I am a naga, and I have a dream: Of our Land peopled by a united tribe, Pledged to live as Heavens prescribe; And love & kindness for all subscribe.

I am a naga, and I have a dream: Of our land free from unabated corruption, That has eroded values in every institution, And bred dishonest men in our generation.

I am a naga, and I have a dream: Of our leaders- strong, honest and wise; Who, against injustices and abuse, rise To deliver a befitting rod sans prejudice.

I am a naga, and I have a dream: Of our churches overflowing with praises; Of preachers performing Act that amazes, And saving souls with inspired messages.

I am a naga, and I have a dream: Of our NPGs working for t’e common good; United for the sake of our forebears’ blood, That’d flowed in our Land in an angry flood.

I am a naga, and I have a dream: Of our lives free from t’e multi-tax burden, That feeds the vanity of our own brethren, And even vexes the future of our children.

I am a naga, and I have a dream: To not only dream, but realize it too, someday, Unhindered by what my adversaries might say. For I was born to live life free, my humble way!
