Reflection And Refraction. Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

As long as we do not pay,
another human well,
we will not be paid well.

As long as we do not appreciate,
the intelligence and innocence,
we will not be appreciated.

As long as we are not aware,
of our own strength and weakness,
we will not be enlightened.

As long as we do not love,
and understand another human,
we will not be loved and understood.

As long as another man's face,
does not smile at us, realize,
his face is our reflection.
