Fill them the Wisdom of Life

Contemporary Poetry Anthology by Santosh Kumar Biswa

Fill them the Wisdom of Life

Oh God! What is going on around you? My mind wonders every now and then About those who are not fortunate And those fortunate, but not in mind. I beg thee, fill them with the wisdom of life, Although filled with the spirit, so stark. Show the way for the better world to arrive.

Fill those living, so pathetic, in slums With the wisdom of a decent life to ply. Open their eyes to more honest living So that, the slums be made a paradise. Fill those living in the jungle, in scourge, With the wisdom of love in life to ply. Open their eyes to family love to depict So that, terror ends in a peaceable world.

Fill those rich who hate the poor With the wisdom of sharing in life to ply. Open their eyes with the mind you possess So that, discrimination ends with brotherhood. Fill those racists who heighten his own form With the wisdom of creation of life to ply. Open their eyes with the values of humanity So that, racism be replaced with bold love.

I pray thee, time is running out for judgment, I see, many are left behind, let them not bleat, They are thy people, alone, you can save them With your wisdom, not thus far passed on And bring into the world you created a paradise. I pray thee, save your sheep that are amiss, So wildly they behave, wilder than untamed. Some forgot their brothers, they should love, Some become unknown to their neighbors, Lost in this materialistic world for profit, Leaving forever the way you showed. It is you, not me alone, who can bring the change With the wisdom, so pleasing and loving To change the world that you desired for.
