To stand up and face the world,
To break free from the shackles of fear,
To bravely raise the voice for every worthy cause,
To defy the atrocities committed by man!
Dangerous trends that can set fire to golden dreams,
Disturbances tearing the human race to pieces,
Dignity of man questioned through strife and massacre,
Denial syndromes refusing to acknowledge the truth!
Let me rise up to fight for human rights and freedom,
Let me not stoop down heartless and callous,
Let me not stand like a dumb fool watching others strike,
Let me condemn every act of hatred and violence!
Let us protect and preserve the world together,
Let us join hands to work and grow together,
Let us believe in the strength of love and compassion together,
Let us follow the path of ‘Ahimsa' with human dignity!
I read the Hindi translation of this poem, and then the original, if the translation is brilliant, the original is no less indeed.

To stand up and face the world is not so difficult if we stand up in love and nonviolence. Very interesting and nice philosophy shared through this poem. Amhisa is the path of definite love. Fantastic sharing done really.10
