Being Human

Believe in yourself, empathise with others and undertake acts of kindness.
Endorse humility and compassion in order to curb evil forces around us.
In today's world where violence shadows the peace, we mainly depend on 
Nurturing righteousness and uphold the human values that differentiate
Good from bad, right from wrong and let our conscience be untainted.

Honour life and help those who need our support. Sow seeds of goodness,
Ultimately what makes us different from animals is our human instinct. 
Mistakes are to be taken as lessons learnt, have faith and hope for the best.
Acknowledge the fact - live and let others live, life is precious, life is short 
Nothing lives forever, only our acts of kindness are left behind in the world.

I would have your poem much higher Meenakshi. I loved your expression of how we are perceived and your last line about leaving acts of kindness behind! Congratulations! 7 ; )
