Compassion..look beyond yourself : Poetry






With no compassion or caring feel, Portraying that which isn't real,

Hiding behind a saintly mask, Pretension of some godly task,

Crushing innocence and self-esteem, Robbing victim of their dreams,

Void of empathy and emotions, tactics of self-promotion.

 

If exploitation is the beginning, empowerment can be the end,

If destruction of environment is the beginning, green revolution can be the end,

If jealousy is the beginning, inspiration can be the end,

If fear is the beginning, adventure be the end,

If hatred is the beginning, forgiveness is the end,

If anger is the beginning, tolerance be the end.

 

Compassion is not just an emotion, but a god's creation,

It is the secret act of giving to save someone, It is setting aside your own desire to pave way for others

It is not a mere showing sympathy, but to make oneself available, It is generosity without any publicity,

So today I wish we all hope, listen, accept, speak and love all things without ration

As today we all should redeemed Compassion!

  1. Beautiful. We all have it within us. Just that we get carried away with outer forces. But when we start being compassionate towards things, people then life will become extra beautiful.

  2. Sadly there is no compassion left to redeem, Swati. When my husband passed away 17 years ago I was ostracized and treated as a pariah. 3 months ago my son passed away and still the callous behavior is the same. Why cannot people leave me alone if they have no compassion? Instead they say such hurtful things that drown me in depression.

  4. Very well said. I agree that Compassion is not just an emotion, but a god's creation, but sadly it is not present in practical world as needed. if every one start believing in this, the world would be a better place to live.

  5. Compassion is what we all need to practice and one has to be reminded with it. Your poetry does express the situations in which we all need to practice it.
