Midnight Earth

By Amitesh Das

What does the Earth do at midnight?

She prays to God

For her children who suffer.

She prays to God

For her children who sleep in peace.

When the night is dreadfully silent, she cries.

She cries in silence for all the evils in there.

And she prays for her dear children.

She tells the moon her sad stories.

Oh, no! She never forgets to thank her for her heavenly light.
