When Hope Becomes A Prayer

A friend saddened by World's perilous conditions and being Full of compassion for human suffering Remarked; on account of being atheist I can not pray... Still my hope is that we find solutions To improve this miserable state of affairs The other friend said I will pray for calm and peace Of world and you as well. Listening to their conversation Obvious was their concern for fellow being And also their sense of helplessness In solving the mega problems Beyond their scope and reach. One in lieu of his restrained capacity Places his hope in others' ability Other knowing the limitations Of human effort places his trust In a supreme anchor. His hope becomes a prayer to call Upon divine guidance and assistance With sincere love and devotion To light the path and give the courage To keep working towards new solutions. Hope and prayer words of great meaning Both spring from human heart As a reflection of human desire In search for a protagonist to lead And guide for betterment of all life. And you know what they say Where there is a desire A will forms upon a human heart Strong enough to collectively inspire others To bring about a massive transformation. It requires us to let go of our small identity In terms of being an atheist, or a religious being A democrat or a republican A native or a foreigner and Inspires us to think as one humanity. When working towards the greater good Think as one large human family In a march forward of one human race Never lose hope and never stop to pray.
