Oh Missionary, please don’t convert me
You know you are doing no right
When you convert people with might
Oh Missionary, please don’t convert me
You know all religions lead to same God
Then why you consider only yours as good
Oh Missionary, please don’t convert me
You know there are many ways to God
Then why you want only yours to succeed
Oh Missionary, please don’t convert me
You know there are many books of God
Then why you say only yours is true
Oh Missionary, please don’t convert me
You know not all people sin
Then why you consider all as sinners
Oh Missionary, please don’t convert me
You say you want to do only charity
Then why you want to enforce uniformity
Oh Missionary, please don’t convert me
You only want the dying to get water
Then why kill them in baptism water
Oh Missionary, please don’t convert me
You want only to preach about love
Then let us love but do not convert
Oh Missionary, please don’t convert me
You know that each nation has culture
Then why you want yours to prevail
Oh Missionary, please don’t convert me
You know I have my own beliefs
Then why you want to impose your beliefs
Oh Missionary, please don’t convert me
You spoiled the cradle of mankind
But do not destroy the cradle of civilisation
Oh Missionary, please don’t convert me
Let thousand flowers bloom everywhere
And let them be of different colours
A bouquet looks divine in multiple colours
Monochromatic is sterile and satanic
