Dream Courage
In response to David’s wonderful prompt “Courage”
I searched and poured the love in hate and chose the dreams in nightmares,
I conquered the mountain’s peak and collected all the drops for filling the River
I cleaned up all the fake faces like a mirror and washed the eyes to contempts
I ignored the difference between color, ethnics, language, religions and rinsed the traditions till rituals,
That dark shadows, which was imposed on opposite thinkings,
After mixing the moon and stars with equality, I brightened the Cognizance’s nights,
You are questioning my courage then, I tell you!
The beast rulers were ruling in a jungle then,
I screamed loudly and roused the sleepers
I screamed loudly and stiffed the deaf to hear
I screamed loudly and forced the blinds to look
I screamed loudly and called the dumbs to speak
I increased the courage in humans to spread the love, peace, and humanity on this planet.
