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
