What They Want

Rating: 3.8


Ask them
They will tell you
They are in need of
Basic things of life
some rice, bread, water
And some clothes
And a house to stay in
But you people, so called
Learned deprived them
In some way or other
Try to think yourself
Natural water natural air
Natural clay earth are
Now dream for them
You people pollute them
And now throwing at them
All filthy words
O city dwellers,
O so called learned, degree holders
At least treat them as human
Give them respect and have some
Humanity in you.

Sadly, there are people who do not have a conscience. They refuse to acknowledge or be concerned with suffering that is happening all around them. This is nothing new, and there will always be people like this. Those of us who do have compassion for the less fortunate must do whatever we can to alleviate their suffering. This is the right thing to do. At the end of the day, we can feel some satisfaction knowing we made someone's life a little better, and brought them a bit of happiness.
