Heptastich
A heptastich is a 7-line stanza no rhyme verse with a syllable count of 2-4-6-8-4-6-2
A smile
or polite nod
can make anyone feel
good regardless of their status,
from street hustlers
to beggars, they're human
like you.
Daughters
brothers, sisters,
mothers, sons, and fathers,
they've all become dispensable,
society
doesn't care if they live
or die.
People
are still people
no matter their income
or what they must do to survive,
don't be cruel
generate positive
karma.
Kindness
is a blessing
bestowed by loving hearts
and cost little more than your time,
or a few coins
which oft morph into hope
once spent.
(Heptastich)
