Every day-
a page
in the book
of life
how should
I live?
What can
I give
to a world
soaked
in tears
and suffering
stifled
with endless strife?
Wherever
I step
let me be
on the side
of the caring
the peaceful
the noble
the humane
the just
and the right
let me
have the courage
to stand up-
every form
of injustice
and cruelty
to fight
let me
lift up
the hands
of the kids
in fear
hunger
in pain
each in
untold plight
if my life
were to bear
any meaning
let my heart
and mind
be bent
towards the woes
of my fellow beings
and if
to this cause
I sacrifice
without pause
I'll die
feeling
satisfied
with nothing
missing
fulfilled totally
fully worthwhile
