Big Hearts On the Poor’s Shores

True heroism is found in compassionate acts that alleviate suffering, embodying timeless virtues of generosity and love for humanity.— contents Jaihoon.

The world has had
Enough of oppression!

Unbearable are any more,
Hands of transgression.

We swiped too many screens
Of our ego’s imagination.

Failed:
The promise of liberation.
Unripe:
The fruits of revolution.

Defiled, the hands who raised
Slogans for nations’ destruction.

Children are crying,
Sick are yearning,
For soulful hands:
Compassionate, caring.

Every human soul,
Of every creed,
For a safe, studious life,
Have an inherent need.

True pearls are not shelved
On the opulent stores,
Rather, they are the Big Hearts
Who wash up on the Poor’s shores.

For, gold-adorned hands shall
Never fashion the human-nation.
