A Prayer Poem by Asokan Suppiah

A Prayer



God
Hope you are
Up there somewhere
Listening
It's time for you to
Re-create the world
To get rid of the
Mess it's been in

Let's stop shedding blood
in the name of war
let's stop taking innocent lives
in the name of ethnic cleansing
Let the oppressed be liberated
Oppressors annihilated

Brink back the Ghandhis and Luther kings
To teach love and non-violence
To a world
Ruled by terrorists and authoritarians
Let's not respect human for
Their color of skin - but
For their humanity

Let not the oppressors of
The past become oppressors of
the present
Let's liberate the occupied lands-and
Hand them over to the proper hands

Let not a single soul die
Out of famine
Let's make a law if it happens
The world be destroyed
Let every human being feel guilty
For the dire state of
This world and
Pray for those innocent lives
Taken away every day
In the name of war famine and massacres.
