In this poem by Dr Sanjukta, Unicorn land offers justice, knowledge, love, and peace, making paradise a reality – exclusively for Different Truths.
In the Unicorn land Rainbows crisscrossed In fuzzy entanglements In the Unicorn land Penitent politicians in purgatories Wept for divine mercy In the Unicorn land Mafias and murderers Surrendered smilingly In the Unicorn land Conspirators, criminals, hackers Dived into the eager hellfire In the Unicorn land Bridges erased walls Liars lost their tongue In the Unicorn land Knowledge flew free All laps held laptops In the Unicorn land Crooks cooked for cooks Lifelong rigorous punishment In the Unicorn land Love laughed on lush lawns As they cartwheeled till dawn In the Unicorn land War was unknown Peace sat on guard In the Unicorn land To be or not to be in Paradise Was not the unanswered question.
