DESPAIR 
 
never ever lose faith in yourself 
always believe in God’s grace 
never mistrust your neighbour 
be helpful to the poor and sick 
so the gospel goes… 
at sixty like a committed samaritan 
you have followed the gospels truly 
though you have been betrayed 
by friends and colleagues times without number 
you received backbites from only those you helped 
even the God himself turned 
a deaf ear to your helpless cries 
you are not a Jesus to forgive them 
for all their misdeeds 
nor I can forgive you oh my Lord 
slowly but surely you are turning me 
into a molehill of despair 
of which you are the creator
