MAG #104
i remember myself
lying there
thought i was alone
thought i am deserted
but later i realized
there are millions of us there
still, as if dead
floating naked in the cold
crawling in our stomach in hunger
some are positioned up side down
trying to gain our strength
to once again
get up and continue
get up and continue
until
a bright light came
and shone upon us
Oh God!
the prayer is answered
the help has come...
