A Glimmer of Hope

 

The saviour when malady, poverty and corruption rule the roost

The first ray of light at dawn

The cactus flower blooming in the desert sand

It is “We” against the narcissistic “I

 

The gentle curve on the maiden’s face as tears trickle down her cheeks

The brutish punch on the faces of misery, pain and agony

It is soothing and tranquil as a mother’s lullaby

 

The constant companion of a caged bird

It hides in the last corner of the soldier’s throbbing heart

Singing “We shall overcome some day…

It is a glimmer of hope!
