Years ago
There was a blood bath
Where we Zoroastrians were
Too victims of Ethnic Cleansing
Slaughtered & butchered like goats.
Fast forward a few
Hundred years
Landed on the
Shores of Sanjan
Pleading with
Requesting Hindu king
For assylum
Who apparently
Was a true human
Did not believe in
Ethnic Cleansing!
He saved us from
A catastrophe
For Zoroastrians from
Being totally annihilated
But, alas we haven’t
Learn’t from past mistakes
Zoroastrian is a religion
Preaches tolerance
Respect Dignity & Equality
Unfortunately there is still
Practice of systematic
Racism Discrimination
And Bigotry
In other words
Ethnic Cleansing!
Look around &
One will see
World wide
People are marching
In protest to demand
Freedom & Equality
So what are we
Doing about it?
Encouraging “Ethnic Cleansing”
It takes “Two to Tango”
As I have said
“No one Owns the Religion”
So wake up & smell the roses
Before it’s too late
Please don’t encourage
“Ethnic Cleansing
If one is a True Zoroastrian
Choicest Happiness
