ROOTS
Roots, so very important are, to grow a luxuriant tree

from these shackles, a tree does not ever try to itself free.

The trunk however strong, does not survive, if it's roots are rotten;
                                    
same truth holds for our roots; we will perish, if they are forgotten
                                              
Today “multi-culture” is in fashion, hence to our roots, properly we tend not.

Just to marry out of the fold, many  wars are often  fought.

When in a “bhel-puri” situation, a child lives n grows

religious values different, often confuse him; that's  why, them, out he  throws.
                                              
Weak grow his roots, sadly, from the very beginning of life !

As he grows up, alongside grow his confusion and he lives in strife.

Strengthen our ROOTS we must; passing it on to generation next.
                                                    
Only if we know the Avesta, can we strengthen our children's future,  with this text.
