You Are a Human Being

The little pain that pricked my heart, when I walked crossing a bleeding street dog, The black and white spots turned red, The walking plat form was painted with blood, That little paw was waning in vain No soul moved as there was no gain Hundred buses and motors crossed Their eyes and heads rolled up and tossed Ignoring that injured fortune less pet And putting humanity in serious threat The whimpering sound slowly soared The wounds of that dog was never explored The cries of agony went unheard Its vision and hope gradually blurred Its eyes slowly closed and tears slowly rolled The last few beats cried and roared, At least one in the crowd could have saved, Not making my death engraved, He who caused him that pain, And made him suffer for his entire reign Nobody thought and nobody fought, Life of animals can never be bought Why this negligence in people’s heart, Not blood and veins but love makes your heart, Compassion and kindness are to be preached? But in humans, humanity is not to be breached, Born as Human being, being humane also to be born, An ant or a butterfly or an elephant or a swan, All are life, nothing big or nothing small, Nothing worth or nothing at all In the eyes of God all are one, The special one Adam and Eve or you and me without love and mercy feelings, Never in the eyes of God are taken as HUMAN BEINGS 29/06/2017

Great writing and great truth! Yes, all is One and one is All, my dearest MS! Bless your heart for your sensitivity but humans, alas, are short of compassion, even for their own kind!

Great job Madhupriya, so many people feel superior to animals yet in God's eyes we are all one. Please read my poem Dear Humanity: and tell me what you think. Namaste.
