Bridge the Gap

A bold and burly bridge, beams of cantilever. Pillars of concrete ridge, confluence of the river. The callipers however quiver.. "Hey distant shores," shrieked the bridge with shiver. "Shake your hands, you're so close, reach out to your neighbour. The river wailed," Oh! my shores!, they are not near and dear. I have seen them only shout, I don't think they can hear." Across million drops of blood and tear, you're a bridge of terror and fear. Compassion...? Can you bear?" Religions race in different pace, the hatred, can you endure? Riches allure the poor for sure, the economy, can you secure? The crafty fringe of lunatics and nasty impinge of tricks... The loose hinge of politics, the connect is a raft of Quick-Fix...." Abuse with binge all over, "Hey !! Who will build the bridge? The builders? they plunder and siege.. They breach their very own speech... the other end never will reach... Give us the bridge of faith and a river of peace to bathe. With Love and Hope in every breath.... Help us cross the mainstream, the chasm of life and death.
