A Dose of Love Feeds Pleads To Be Heard

Despite our own struggles inner and outer, visible and invisible Let’s go on, loving, caring, making a difference In our families, communities and cities where feasible Whether in reference to their struggles or during a conference To eat caviar, drink champagne or discuss how to mitigate The plight of the voiceless, the choiceless, the hapless On whom fate has heaped hunger and thirst at their gate Where perennial Hell seems a ceaseless Straitjacket from which they can’t wriggle free Whether to sleep, weep, creep or keep the faith We enjoin them to cherish underneath a mango tree That can no longer bear fruit in the wake of water dearth Brought about by human insensitivity, polluting the air and water bodies That propel water cycles and green plant processes including photosynthesis To enable life and food webs to proceed apace despite polluted water eddies From which emerge horrors and terrors whose synthesis Spews disaster Spells gloom Slays happiness and bliss faster And on obdurate humankind bestows doom with no maneuver in her revenge room Unless we come through offering to heal our broken world Working beyond the normal call of duty to feed the hungry Accommodating the swirled and hurled Whether we’re happy, moody or angry Endeavouring to do the least but delivering the best shot Effacing our needs to plant hope seeds Loving in a consistent manner, blowing neither cold nor hot So that in the end every aching heart receives a dose of love feeds.
