A Hundred Hands
I’d like to have a hundred hands
That portrayed in a tale
To expand the two hands
That gifted by my parents
A Hundred hands to set up the tents
In the refugee camp;
To offer fresh water to the kids
In the dry countries
Deforested by the timber lords;
To blanket the old people
Whom they switched budget
From the welfare to weaponry.
To inspire the blinds
In place of the leading dogs.
I’d like to have a hundred hands
To hug and to pacify
The miserable grassroots people
Whom their govt rated them as
Slaves!
