Inner Light Is Finally Shining

Inner light is finally beginning to shine People are no longer watching from sidelines They are willing to look beyond their concerns Help is pouring out all of a sudden. Whether by lighting a candle or marching in silent protest Against those who mindlessly perpetrate Crime, or to help a software techie paralysed And do whatever for the guy so traumatized. Today I read the Tamil government has given eunuchs Their rightful place as a third sex These are signs to help those marginalised Mere slogans are not enough it’s finally realised. All is not lost There is still hope Let’s all be the change we want And not wait for a magic wand To heal ourselves and all others out there Because charity begins at home but does not end there Winds of change are blowing Winds of change are blowing Inner light is finally shining There is yet hope, it is so heartening.
