Rama Balasubramanian Poet Free verse

Why Are Humans Heartless

I don't understand why people give others miseries 
And feel happiest in watching them suffer

I don't understand why people don't bother 
when someone cries or suffers
They shrug off by saying he/she is a cry baby
Or it isn't my problem or she is suffering for her sins

I don't understand why people criticise others
Criticisms only tarnish their image
How it can show them as great?

I don't understand why people are so selfish
When it comes to self emotions are important
When it comes to others, it is the opposite

How can anybody be happy in seeing others miseries
How can anybody be unmoved in seeing others suffering

If only they understood what they give rebounds back!

Eve Roper December 21, 2020 at 7:53 AM Rama, good one. Well said with good flow. I too don't understand. They might actually be the weakest; by playing the roll of tough and mean person, their actions making them stronger. The breathing exercises will be great they will help. Hugs Eve Rama Balasubramanian December 22, 2020 at 3:35 AM Thanks. Yes breathing exercises I do daily. They work wonders in increasing energy levels. Take rest, Take care, Rama
