Mainstream WeeklyWhat would be The work of conscience In our times; Is it to lift the debris From those we left behind; Assuage their wounds, Ask with knees and head bent low, O, how did I neglect you so? The migrant labour; Calloused hands, blistered feet, Grief that took to the street; How did I leave you alone To face this searing heat? The man who trudged Carrying his mother on his head, Searching for a hospital bed; Where should he cremate the corpse, But give it a burial soaked with tears, Down the (…)
