Carry Your Candle Today
Our world is enduring suffering.
Suffering countries are living in coldness.
Coldness is killing those sitting in darkness.
Today, light your candle and run;
Run with it in all corners of the villages;
Villagers are held in thick dimness.
Dimness swallowing all the citizens.
Citizens of our cities and remote villages,
Females and males, despite their races and statuses.
Today, run or walk with your big or small candle;
Candle that rescues those in dullness, plus yourself.
Yourself, handle the candle for you and for others.
You are the candle; you have the light we need.
Go toward them, all those struggling in the obscurity,
Madly need that little candle you are holding.
