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!
