Bitter Gourd
Let the truth of great God remain
In the hearts of chosen people;
Let all the lies be left behind
By the spirit, mind, heart, and soul.
Let the light stay radiant and bright
In the lives of true God's children;
Let not the dark conceal or blind
The open eyes of the brethren.
Let the fire of the burning love
Be kept alive, warm, and aglow;
Let it not die nor fade away,
Amidst anguish, grief, and sorrow.
Woe is brought to the twisted mind
Who turns shadows into clear light;
God shall punish the foolish one
Who changes day into cold night.
Don't ever call the good evil,
Nor put servant for divine Lord;
Never turn the sweetest mango
Into the taste of bitter gourd.
