A morning thought- Silva Choudhury

Tears rolling down the cheeks

the poor, famished and miserable

While pearls adorn the wealthy wrists

the rich relishing a feast on their table

Cry for help

No one seems to hear

The fountain of justice

is a mirage, far from near

Nations engaged in conflicts,

not a sign of truce

Violation of human rights

has left a permanent bruise

Mankind deprived of its basic needs

Is it a good sign?

Do we have the time

for the fight of "yours" and "mine"?

Can I wish for a day

when the sun will shine bright,

Peace be everywhere

and equality be each human's right?
