Golden Honey Drops

Gold and pure
Thick and rich
Why is this heart like honey?

Need a protection vest 
For this cruel world
Hard for me to learn

Wanting everyone to be equal
Love everyone
Be a friend to everyone

This sentimental heart
Has no place in this world

Making treaties with enemies
Making friends with the lessors 
Giving giving giving

This honeydrop heart
Stopped the insults
The backtalk
The gossip
The anger

But the world hasn't 

Questioning this purity
Where did it come from?
To keep giving chance,
Even while I lay in pieces

This liquid golden heart
Prays for those who never think of me
Who want others to be happy
And stop their violence

But at least

This rich honey
Is always reliable,
To keep me moving
Even when the world stops

love the lines- to keep giving chance, even when in pieces- to give is essence of life and to gain satisfaction. Mohan
