Rise by Lifting Others

Santosh Kumar Pokharel

Do right if it’s all in your might
Your plight will count for others
It’s all right in you if wages a fight
Your conscience, won’t you bother.

You may live, no one will you perceive
As a stranger you remain to other
You can fall no love will you befall
As love won’t ever smother.

This I say and it’s not a hearsay
Life’s a gift for us all and some others
And I say if you wish you also may
Make rise by lifting others.

(Santosh Kumar Pokharel is a multilingual poet from Nepal)
