Be Not

         Be not Grains of Sand to see for Time holds not Infinity, our        
Hands may grasp Eternity, our Life is short upon this World.              
        Be not Doves and Pigeons burdened, break the Cage, release the Birds, when      
        Only then, birdsong be heard and Angel’s Wings shall be uncurled!      
Cages on which wrath incurred and into Hell we should he hurled!      
                                                                                                      Heaven’s Rage shall be unfurled!      
       
        Be not Starving Dogs’ prostration pour out shame upon our Nation      
Offer them divine oblation, feasting at their Master’s Gate!      
        End the selfish man’s predation,  Suff’ring Wolves howl out damnation      
        Leave to God nature’s legation, Heaven chooses nature’s fate!      
Canines rue not mans’ relation, It’s our lot to treat them straight!      
                                                                                                       Heaven’s Will we must Au Fait!      
       
        Proffer not puritanism, nor the rich men’s criticism      
 On the poor like aphorisms,  Misery from selfish spite!      
        Do not yield to pragmatism, hateful detached stoicism      
        Poor Folk need our optimism, Goodness to all men forthright!      
Defeat the seed of cynicism, Hopeless folk need love and light!        
                                                                                                       Purge all poverty from sight!
