“Darkness of Souls” Poem

Oh! see the light,

which destroys the darkness,
see the light,
which eliminates everything
except for pure love and care,
see the light,
which has no room for jealousy,
pride and prejudice,
may everyone succeed in the attempt to
persuade this light,
may everyone get this pure love and care,
may the world feel this joy of peace
just this once,
Oh! did they fail to persuade this stubborn light?
They’re born in the streets of darkness,
live in the melancholy of sadness,
depression and unjust,
and die for the people who suck their
lives just as parasites,
who are they? Do you know them?
Do I know them?,
Oh! people realise this faulty merciless unjust,
unjust? Unjust by whom you ask?
The faulty roots of unjust is watered by us,
by you, by me to make it into a big huge tree?,
A tree which cuts their survival and
absorbs this life-giving gas,
Oh! people understand!
Let’s clean these faulty lines drawn together,
let’s pluck off these faulty roots deep
stuck into the ground,
let’s clear off this unjust,
let’s do this, will you??
let’s fight not flight,
let’s write not erase,
let’s care not wait,
let’s support not let apart,
let’s adhere to it!
let’s achieve it!
