Hope for The World

When a tree is cut down, a sapling is planted

Where a bushfire occurs, God sends the rain

With every evil act, a kind act is bound to follow

For this is the law of the Almighty

To preserve and protect the world.

The brightness of the world dims

The serpentine greed makes its way

Violence and utter selfishness takes over

As humanity is brazenly stripped

Yet the flickering flame still shines.

Day and night are two sides of the same coin

Both have to arrive to maintain the balance.

We get a choice to flip it if we don’t like one

However, lazy us, refuse to flip a side

And then complain of the prolonged day o

r night.

We can’t paint the entire world white

The colour of peace and truth

However, we can sincerely play our roles

Be responsible and be kind

First to ourselves and then to the world.

When the inner demons create tandav

The chaos spreads like wildfire

Taming those demons will unlock the heart

Peace and happiness will make us dynamic

And we’ll disperse that Light to wherever we go.

As long as the world exists there’ll be hope

For it is stubborn, a hard nut to crack

Let preaching take a back seat

Let compassionate deeds beat on the drum of life

The world will then change for the better.
