THE EYE OF EMPATHY


Hats and robes you may wear

 
But in your heart, do you care? 


For mindless deeds that often hurt


Thoughtless words that you do blurt


Of  innocent minds that you subtly bleed


An extra morsel kept away, in hidden greed


But don’t you see my noble friend


That your life too, will one day end

  
The subtle things that you do today


Will be done to you, another day


The ones you despise with scornful glances


Could just be you,  in another set of circumstances


So open your eyes to the world of love and empathy 


See the threatened man hiding,  behind some pompous  name


See his human heart bleeding, beyond his  glory, shame and fame


 Deeper to your skin,  my noble friend; aren't  we all just the same !


Mere shadows playing,  to the dance of the same sacred flame 


The world is vast and wide; yet from death,  no one can hide


So, you too my noble friend, will not last for eternity


But happy you shall live and happy you shall die


With the compassionate eyes of  love and empathy!
