Is it a world in which terror is used as a cover to promote divisive policies amongst the youth?
Is it a world in which the youth across continents have similarities in dress, ideals, thoughts and dreams?
A world in which nationalism and nationhood is not used as a cover for discriminatory politics.
For us, the world is one global bubble with a lot to be uncovered and discovered.
Don’t we know that we are a product of a hybrid of cultures?
For there is no one culture.
Culture is dynamic and we want to be free to mix and mingle and bring forth something beautiful, don’t we?
For people make the world, and people are not static; our identity changes even when in one social corpus.
Oh Mr. and Mrs. Politician, this is our world and it is one world with different realities,
A world in which we see difference as diversity!
