Palm and fist

Closed fist

Does not give

Loosen your hold

So that some may slip

With open palms

The poor lift

The ship of gold, which of its own

Moves not an inch

Goodness of the poor

Their hearts big

Hands that labour

Make rich rich

Those who take

Hardly give

Richness and progress

Are not the same thing

Poor remain poor

Rich are more rich

Progress is no number

Or richness of the rich

What matters is how we lift

Millions who in penury live

Hands are the same

Palms to show or make closed fist!
