So Simple and So Sincere

So simple and so sincere is the flow of meaningful words spoken with infinite tenderness, and these have ultimately changed me... restoring a waning faith that was of another sphere, murmured with a convincing tone so humanly! Who did reach out when all collapsed around me? Amid those stones, I bled and screamed for mercy; doesn't vengeance vanish when compassion contests pride? Who came to my aid putting all differences aside? Not friends, but someone whom I had hurt intently, he could have ignored my anguish and kept ongoing; no, he stopped and soothed my wounds caringly! I looked at him with new eyes and did not see an embittered enemy! Animosity and anger were gone: the glow of hope started shining! So simple and so sincere can be the gestures that project kindness; never engage in controversial revenge, be rational and put down your weapons: war is only for vindictive hearts! It's much easier to be unresentful and forgiving than bear a grudge that ends when one gives up his breath! Wouldn't it be better to lie side by side in death... in marked tombstones that offer an eternal truce, not despair?
