Krish Radhakrishna Poet Carpe Diem

Breathe For Them

Take a breath for those who can no longer breathe,
Their hopes, lives suffocated by unjust hate,
Take a breath for those whose human rights dwindled,
By crude ignorance, while the truth was stifled
Take a breath for those who look on in hunger,
while greed denies them their fair share with rancour,
Take a breath for those who watch in mute silence,
When they should speak to save, show their dissidence,
Take a breath for those who hold reigns of power
Yet lack the wisdom, equal rights to shower,
Take a breath for those who breathe not in freedom,
Food, water, air not for them in God’s Kingdom!
Take a breath for those who live in tyranny 
Take a breath, Take a breath, Take a breath,
Amen!

John Watt June 15, 2020 at 10:29 PM Krish, you write with a great deal of empathy. You bring a great deal of community compassion to this write. I find it inspiring. The world needs this spirit of coming together. Thank you, and congrats on your win ~ John Krish Radhakrishna June 16, 2020 at 12:17 AM Dear John Thank you for your kind words. The world has to see a new order at least for the sake of future generations that are to follow us. We have to clear the ground For them, so they do not have to remedy the faults we have created. Much appreciate your valuable comments and wisdom.
