Compassion Poem by spiritual seeker

Compassion

Rating: 5.0


Don't close your eyes,
Look around and see,
Those grimy bodies in tattered clothes,
Countless outstretched palms,
Openly living in hunger.

Don't close your heart,
To those out of modesty,
Do not show their suffering to others,
Daily tightening their stomach,
Silently praying and hoping.

Act now from your heart,
Giving compassion to others,
Reaching out to help others,
Cause in giving, we will certainly receive,
Unbound happiness.

Perhaps everyone could see, hear and feel the misery of others. Life and world becomes so beautiful then.

Yes, yes, yes. Wonderful poem, my friend. Super 10++++ Too many of us have excuses when it comes to charity. We cannot teach people how to fish overnight, so we still need to provide them with fish in the mean time. Kongsi Beras!

Giving is beautiful, but hunger is a terrible thing. And we must act, from the heart, to prevent it whenever, wherever, and however we can. Every little bit helps. This poem gives such awareness to a real problem. This is a great piece. Thanks. 10
