A WISH 
 
 
light a candle for those 
burnt alive 
helplessly 
 
light a candle for those 
who die of hunger 
in any parts of the globe 
 
light a candle for those 
lost without support 
in a tsunami 
 
 
light a candle for those 
departed in an earthquake 
wherever it be 
 
light a candle for those 
drowned in a flood 
without a straw to catch on 
 
light a candle for those 
perished in a landslide 
in the far offhills 
 
light a candle 
spare a minute’s silence 
let the church-bells chime 
 
let the conchs be blown 
alongside your prayer 
for peace of the benevolent souls
