A SILENT PRAYER

I offer a silent prayer

to the halted lives
to the beggar's plight
to the dim lanes
where children ignite

their mind,to rise
from the pitholes
of misery&penury

i offer a silent prayer
to the shackled dreams
to the layman's scream
to the hullabaloo of distorted souls

a silent prayer for all who suffer
a silent prayer for liberation
a silent prayer for commemoration
