You, light a candle in your heart <br /> <br />Fill your soul with the brightness of its visage <br />Let not this world be a selfish mirage <br /> <br />Let them kill your roseate dreams <br />Ignore your poignant pleas <br />Squash your path in mud <br />Drench the innocent in blood <br /> <br />But you, light a candle in your heart <br /> <br />Fill your soul with the brightness of its visage <br />Let not this world be a selfish mirage <br /> <br /> <br />Let them spill out the venom <br />Attack the one without any weapon <br />Destroy your precious homes <br />Ruin your auspicious hopes <br /> <br />But you, light a candle in your heart <br /> <br />Fill your soul with the brightness of its visage <br />Let not this world be a selfish mirage <br /> <br />Let them smudge your garments <br />With their gratuitous comments <br /> <br />Let them do all the damage <br />While they can still rampage <br /> <br />But you, light a candle in your heart <br /> <br />Fill your soul with the brightness of its visage <br />Let not this world be a selfish mirage <br /> <br />Let them create havoc in the land <br />But this you must understand <br />Surely you will overcome this phase <br />For, the oppressed move closest to God's space <br /> <br />Until then, light a candle in your heart <br /> <br />Fill your soul with the brightness of its visage <br />Let not this world be a selfish mirage <br /> <br />And if not a candle, a tiny spark <br />Will definitely, drive away the darkness at large.<br /><br />Aminath Neena<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/light-a-candle-5/
