#400 Darkness To Light Poem by malini kadir

I self appoint not the cloak of darkness
It was with divergence to curtail clad
For the men of pride and prejudice in nearness
I remain silent and mute; although sad......

Why must the natures beauty be exploited?
If the consequences not for worthy cause explored?
Why the education be drilled or literally fed
If not the color be brighter of life ahead?

I humble on my knees, my Lord kneel to pray
If the strength be imparted to the youth to walk on...
Through darkness and despair seeing a hope ray
Through the window of his view to hold and walk on......

Each morn I look to you up high
And with wonder and dedication pray
Each dusk with a lighted lamp I sigh;
To voice my prayer with religious faith say!

Almighty keep your word, and walk us through
My eyes I pin on you with hope
My life a prosperous journey true.....
Show me how to step in and gear up to scope! !
