Abdul and Ram were better friends
Than you and I could've ever been
Sitting on a bench in a park
Having strawberry and vanilla ice cream
Now it was time to return
Abdul's uncle came to pick
Asked him,"Who's the other boy?"
"Ram"
The uncle had a massive fit
"Don't you know that that boy
Is an idolater,is a disbeliever
He worships rocks and leaves
That 5 year old is a liar, a thief
He worships the false prophet
Do not go near him
We are better, we are in the right
Leave him or convert him
We are the faith of peace, son"
Now the 4 year old pondered over this
While Ram's brother came to pick up Ram
Seeing him with a skullcapped boy
He took him to the bronze statue in the park
"Brother you're a fool, a miser
You should've been a little wiser
This boy's ancestors' ancestor
Killed our family's ancestors' ancestor
Your grandfather's grandfather's debt you have to pay
1000 years before today..."
He proceeded to tell this 4 year old these words of propaganda
Trying to fulfil his devious agenda
".....they killed our women and lynched our folk and committed other atrocities
Leave this progeny of Mahmud of Ghazni"
No one spoke the complete truth, no one completely lied
The bronze Buddha statue near the fountain smiled
They left the park one last time
Together they weren't meant to smile
For a millennia ago
One man killed another man and everybody died
Hate was sown into their minds
Why O! Why O! Why!
No one spoke the complete truth, no one completely lied,
One man killed another man and everybody died
