Rajkumar Mukherjee - A WISH

A WISH


light a candle for those
burnt alive
helplessly

light a candle for those
died of hunger
in any parts of the globe

light a candle for those
lost without support
in a tsunami

light a candle for those
departed in an earthquake
wherever it be

light a candle for those
drowned in a flood
without a straw to catch on

light a candle for those
perished in a landslide
in the far off hills

light a candle
spare a minute’s silence
let the church-bells chime

let the conchs be blown
alongside your prayer
for peace of the benevolent souls
