Nature does not discriminate; people do, rues Harinder in this poem. She aspires a conflict resolution – exclusively for Different Truths.
The benevolent Sun gives its sunshine to one and all Everyone enjoys the shade of the trees, big and tall The stars twinkle in the sky, giving us all a reason to smile Nature does not discriminate, with the intention vile The rain falls on the roofs of the rich and the poor houses alike The cuckoo's song is for everyone Without any gender bias or racial dislike A moonlit night is enjoyed by all thick and thin Mother Earth loves her children of all skin colours Then why do we fight? Oh! Brothers and sisters in the Name of the region and religion When our master is one, and We are all the great one's children You give me your hand; I will extend mine, And together, let's start to walk There will be no rifts then and No need to resolve them in the round table talks A change can be brought about only by looking within To hurt someone's sentiments is the biggest sin.

Excessive greed has now become the creed,
K dil maange more, is our only need,
How can then we be humans, when our deeds are of beasts.
