A Lot A Hand Can Do and Undo
A hand which feeds a child,
loves to sate its hunger,
a hand that triggers a gun,
fumes with hatred and anger..
A hand which tills the soil,
brings food for all who toil,
a hand that lusts to kill,
stills the very essence of life..
A hand which loves to paint,
paints sky in crimson n blue,
a hand that craves to steal,
robs color of its shades and hue..
A hand which shows its palm,
regales to share its all,
a hand that folds to conceal,
reveals a stagnant heart..
A hand which holds a rosary,
ever believes in His divinity
a hand that just counts nuggets,
never holds a trust in charity..
A hand with a palm and fingers,
never does know the plight, Of
a hand that shed its fingers,
in the heat of a bloody fight...
There is so much joy to greet
when two hands shake as one,
but in pain a heart does bleed,
if the other doesn't reach out...
A handfull of roses, is all we need
to bring love and peace on earth
as long as, each hand takes one
and gives one more in return...
