Kingdom of Love

By Handunnetti Indira De Silva   

Under the veil of culture
How many tears are shed?
Under the cloak of tradition
How many wounds are hidden?
under the clutch of belief
How many souls suffer?
Are humans born
To suffer forever?

Open the veil and see
The tears on the faces
Remove the cloak and see
Hidden wounds yourself
Release the clutch and free
The souls that suffer
Save the humans from
The traps man-made.

Kindle the flame of love
For all in your heart
Respect the dignity of others
As you honor yourself
Accept the rights of each one
While you fight for yours
That is the best way
To the kingdom of love.
