Search Me: I Give You Everything

A Poem by AMRIT KAUR LOHIA

 

Maybe one day the world will see

A world of love and empathy

Built strong by mistakes in history:

Resistant to the birth of tyranny

 

 

It pains to speak of reality:

Man's become responsibility

What does it take for one to tell

The insane of their sanity?

 

 

Darkness is my spirituality

The voiceless cries guide me

Free of duty I shall walk

In search for lasting unity

 

 

They never disobey ‘royalty'

It troubles the laws of philosophy

The fear becomes the fearer

Perhaps there will never be stability

 

 

Those who obey authority

Know not the word cruelty

Only our ears have experienced

The suffering caused by loyalty

 

 

I will show humanity:

A commune of equality

A final solution they will see

All lives will live in harmony.

 

 

God gave me life:

      I breathe it.

God gave me Faith:

     I live it.

God showed me truth:

     I fight for it.

God blessed me:

    I believe it.
