Why do you leave
can’t you stay and give
your exuberant strength
for your nation’s growth.
You change your identity
reject intoto your nationality
for a greener pasture
altering your stature; a caricature.
In allegiance you stand
for others’ land.
Contemptuously you look
on your soil as a toil, a nook.
Come home, let’s like doctors
surgeon on our land as reformators.
Stay back, propagate the future
liberate our generation from torture.
Ignore the societal strata
just avail, your quota.

I would like to translate this poem
I love this one! Your pun on surgeon, using it in two senses: performing a healing surgery on the ailing nation, and then sojourning in the nation instead of emigrating. I think it is a truly creative thing. And, are you addressing the import of the poem to people like me? It wont work (laughs) .
