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!

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.
ReplyDeleteSadly 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.
ReplyDeleteI really liked this o especially line of your post the most " Compassion is not just an emotion, but a god's creation". So true and relatable. Well written indeed.
ReplyDeleteVery 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.
ReplyDeleteCompassion 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.
ReplyDeleteThis is so touching and beautiful 😍. Very well said. ❤ I agree that compassion is not just emotiona. And really could relate.
ReplyDeleteYour poetry beautifully captures the essence of compassion and its transformative power. The contrast between negative beginnings and positive ends emphasizes the importance of empathy and understanding. Keep spreading this message of compassion and love through your heartfelt words! 🌟
ReplyDeleteThese are powerful lines-Compassion is not just an emotion, but a god's creation,
ReplyDeleteIt is the secret act of giving to save someone. It is setting aside your own desire to pave way for others, Swati. The world is becoming heartless and compassion is becoming an extinct emotion.
This poem of yours fills me with hope . The lines “If destruction … are so relevant today more than ever when we face floods and climate change. Truly we need to practice compassion in all forms.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully expressed! Let us rise above the limitations of rationed compassion and embrace a world where compassion is the driving force behind all our actions. Compassion is not outside, it's there inside every human being just waiting to be found.
ReplyDeleteWell said Swati, if all of us embrace compassion in the truest sense, this world undoubtedly would become a better place.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful expression, Swati. By practicing empathy and understanding, we can connect with others on a deeper level, offer support, and make a positive impact in their lives. In the times that we are living in, we need compassion more than ever!
