Rise beyond apathy

Rise beyond the horizon,

Rise above the sky,

Rise above the wave of hatred,

That has made all wry.

Rise beyond the barriers,

Of caste, country, and religion,

Rise beyond the captivity

Of show off and materialism.

Rise above disgust and envy,

Rise above prejudice,

Rise above the crafty mind,

That plots and plans all sins.

Rise above all acts,

That lead to tears and blood,

Rise above and embrace,

The glory of the majesty above.

Then you will bow,

To his word and grace.

Realization will steer you,

Towards empathy, love, and praise.
