Not Own Volition

we can
collectively
show compassion to help 
the needy to uplift them from 
squalor;
they do not know why they suffer,
put in such condition,
not of their own
wishing!

Lovely compassionate write, Mohan! No one chooses to be in the financial situation that society puts them in! All children should have equal opportunities and well being! The divide is so great! Congrats on your win!

True! The needy never know why they suffer and we cannot end their suffering, but we can surely help to reduce it. You have really great thoughts Mohan :)
