Mercy Poem by Suresh Dogra

Mercy



We know
that we are
at the mercy of God

Or if God
seems too distant
even non-existent
we can't deny
that we are
at the mercy
of the sun
and the earth
and water
and air
and much more
as well as
other human beings

In short
for our lives
and survival
we're not
our own masters
Sustained altogether
by others' mercy
how much thought
do we give
to those who are
at our mercy
