True Empathy

What would the world be like
If those on top of living  
learn to look down and see the life of others ,
who's struggles and throes to survive for existing,
And learn to stand in one good stead
 to share their winnings-
 in life  to them was  given. 

How greatful all affluent  
will help the poverty-striken;
In any ways they  know,
as long as its from the heart that sharing.
And so it seems to me, 
their would be  less down-and-out that yearning.

When a crackerjack bear a hand to those amatuer,
who is much scrabble ;
And through  such effort ,
all things will be apprehend with flying colors;

That even in education 
when a slow-witted student befriend with  sharp-witted  one;
Then would teach an amigo the lessons taken
 to pass an exam. 

What if a beauty queen is with an uppealing girl,
That instead  of envy for physique to feel,
love the uniqueness, 
for beauty comes from within.

These are just few,
of much to tell situations 
of helping,  of sharing, of feeling the true empathy,
That these who give hand-holding 
are heaven's  sent;
To make the world such a wonderful of living.
