Today is 1000 Voices for Compassion Day!
Haiku
Tears in their eyes
Their anguish and pain move you
Kind souls wipe the tears.
An expensive car
with tinted windows, new wheels
No time for poor souls.
Healing touch of love
Makes life easier to face
Sharing is caring.
She’s not yet had lunch
Polishes off her tiffin,
Starving eyes envy.
Young voices scream out
But no one is listening
Where is the justice?
Let us all unite
Banish sorrow from the world
Make all faces smile

A great idea to use haiku for this theme Sulekha. Let us indeed banish sorrow from the world and make people smile by uniting together in compassion! 😉 <3
Lovely haiku and love is truly healing. A nice dedication to compassion
How immune we can become to the poverty and needs of others! Expressed so well, Sulekha!
Loved the different perspectives of compassion! Lovely!
The one about expensive car with tinted windows is especially powerful. Well done, Sulekha!
Loved your compassionate take on the less fortunate whose needs are so easily forgotten.
To share and care..it shouldn’t be so hard, isn’t it? Nicely expressed Sulekkha
