(4) Benevolent Hearts
Hearts that feed the millions
Do no bow before the minions
They do not know violence
But tolerance and benevolence.
Not a stone did they pelt
At the police men
Who tear-gassed them
And water-gunned.
Nor did they shy away
From talks with the ministers
Who fail to see their mind
Leave alone, the real problem.
