PLIGHT
Human life, forced to smile
sad,
Faced troubles, sorrow, on
card,
Tightlipped moved ahead future,
Even humans feel happy to
secure, (1)
Self deeds self-guided motive
till,
Blind to consequence, fewer
heal,
Visit the church, read the
Bible, pray well,
For whom we pray, insane dwell,
(2)
Watch, million at temple oil
lamp,
Burn reverent prayer eyes damp,
For whom do humans pray,
ignominy,
Not for other life selfish
uncanny, (3)
Dedicate, O Lord, my life
surrender,
Serve my community race ponder,
Dying like flies, hunger
rampages,
Pious outsides, heinous
salvages, (4)
How many people are exploited,
says,
Temple-broken gold looted ways,
Where has gone enormous booty,
Humans suffer, are hungry, and pity,
(5)
Those plundered in the name of God,
Time is right, justice, blames
God,
He heals provided bountiful
corn,
His grace we live to discover a
morn, (6)
Disgraced His infinite love
exists,
Divine command practice
resists,
Human feelings of abstract
emotion,
Love care sympathy due to
devotion, (7)
The calmness quietude peace
feel,
Tranquility like lake water be
still,
A clear image of reality
message lit,
Mind imitates like a lake
delight, (viii)
Reads Lord's messages to help
well,
The plight of people suffering,
duly hell,
Be flood, cyclone, fire,
famine, war,
Plight of human long lists to
scar, (9)
Jesus living in hearts, Lord
willing,
Human life is precious, objects
defining,
Served a life in trouble ending
his way,
Tomorrow may not be here
dismay, (10)
Life is short. face the plight
Lord helped,
His abode is my heart acts
shelved,
The plight of others saw,
cried, prayed sad,
Incapable of removing pain begs
inward. 11)
