An Act of Kindness
The skinny boy on the street,
Begging for a penny to eat,
Stood hungry by the cake stall,
As he heard the Baker’s call.
One day, a plumpy kid with shiny shoes,
Hearing that call, bought the creamiest mousse.
The skinny boy glared at the plumpy meat!
While he munched on his dry milk- biscuit.
Suddenly when two puppies start to bite,
That kid's shiny shoes with much delight!
Annoyed by the puppies’ chewing,
The plumpy kid started shooing;
When the skinny boy hugs and feeds,
His own biscuit sacrificing the needs;
Showing the puppies what kindness is,
As Love gives Wealth a tease!
So, just being rich can’t make you kind,
Unless an infinite love dwells in your mind.
