My dream for a future Manipur

Shongminthang Haokip *

My dream and only hope for my people born and unborn

That one day in Manipur the new sunrise equally shines on all people
Without any shadowed of opportunity across the hills as in the valley

To the peaceful coexistence where all people feel home safe and secure

To the days when our freedom fighters are honored as National heroes
To the sanity where we see one another as neighbors; not as foreigners

To the days where people are helping instead of hurting
And filled all hearts with humility and humanity as one Manipur.
