Benediction by Nandita De
Nandita De writes that we should heed the consequences of our political and social actions
Between us and God
Constant pleas
Humble prayers for forgiveness
Countless trespasses of mankind
Unconscious of consequences.
Now on our knees
A world begging for benediction
Striving for reform
Introspecting on fallacies
A planet wronged mercilessly
By savage people.
Now hapless in the apathy
Penitent and powerless
An entire people in prayers
The only hope that remains
For salvation of mankind.
