Another ganga

Another Ganga…
To sanctify the defiled earth again
To wash away ages of endless human transgressions.
To endure the burdens of mankind again,
To make it new, to cultivate hope, purging the contamination
Another Ganga…
To rush over the parched and shriveled human mind, sterile conscience, the rot within.
To nourish it back to its inner beauty, a new birthing…
Another Ganga…
To churn out the bedrock of hatred, flush out the roots of evil
quench the embers of rage, plunging those to her numbing depths
Let the earth be sanctified again.
Let it go through a cleansing.
