    Light up a life.

    Light up a life
    Show your love
    To the one
    Who is homeless and weak
    We will survive
    Give what you have
    Everyone
    Who is generous and meek
    Bring up alive
    All who starve
    One by one
    Help the hopeless to seek
    Daily derive
    Ways of love
    Lift someone
    Over helpless creek

    Humming this song from a cold blanket
    It's hard to sing on this windy cloudy day
    I lift up my eyes and look at the market
    Where cometh my help it seems like many on the way
    I've been through a lot in this short simple life
    And the more I try I hear out no easy road
    I see the faces of many trying to survive
    And the smile of a granny cheers me up with my load

    The cough of this grand daddy rings a bell
    You are not alone he echoes out my friend
    I've been pitched and ditched many times to tell
    That life has a lot and there is no end
    The hustle and bustle can be rough and odd
    If you've been hired and fired now arise be bold
    Be well and able by the grace of God
    And keep knocking on doors till ya success unfold

    Tell the sickness that has kept you in bed
    It's time to rise up and live
    The worry that damned,d-a-m-n-e-d your head
    Is running away
    Running away
    Believe!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
