AMITY

 

S. Chandra Sekhar

 

Until every child

Enters the World

With a candle in hand.

So to kindle, in every land

The searching-heart-bruised

Strife will be rife,

On matters trivial,

And on and off

Human wile in its vilest

With the sharpest knife

Cuts the cords of amity

When every God

Weeps in helpless self-pity.
