The instinct of mercy

THE INSTINCT OF MERCY

Hunger! Hunger! Hunger! What a pity, my dear! A fistful of food saves Many and many a lives, Who’s there but.... To show pity, by heart, Why this inhumanity Yes, where is humanity!

Feeding the starving Appeasing their longing, Indeed, is a righteous act Of aiding the suffering lot. Mercy! The instinct within Why not we awaken... Yes, every living creature, Is hunted by hunger forever.

Charm of life, never let it go Instead break the chain of ego; Let the wick of mercy burn, So that ignorance burns within.

Yes, let ‘the instinct of mercy’ Fill the stomachs of the hungry; The seed of mercy if we implant

Life one day would feel content.
