Mauritius has diverse religions
All who live together with great visions
Theirs is a life emblem so tenacious
Because a country it is, always culturally gracious
Mauritius is great in its adventure
It’s a land to tour without pressure
People travel miles for its pleasure
Just to explore it beautiful cultures
Mauritius is adorned by its tourism
It has diverse religions like Hinduism
But its people are glued by patriotism
To embrace each other without racism
Mauritius is bountifully resourceful
The land and its people are beautiful
Like a cool breezy night is ever peaceful
Everyday in Mauritius island is colorful
