Let's expand our world view to all those that are suffering, not least the most innocent, most of which are suffering because of us, let's not make light of the fact that this is so.


Poem Artwork

 

 
The homeless he takes home,
The drug addicts and drunks,
The down and out he feeds,
Though a starving dog,
He wouldn’t throw a bone,
The criminals he counsels,
The gangsters on the street,
To pushers he is sweet,
But cannot himself to bring,
To mend a birdies broken wing,
Soup kitchens and the like,
To feed the hungry,
The downtrodden and the weak,
A stray, a kitten lost,
Would not help it off the street,
Resources will he find,
To help the deaf and blind,
To them all he’s kind,
With poison spray the lake and lawn,
Never mind that dying swan,
Will do anything for criminals,
To keep their suffering minimal,
Help them earn a living,
But for a creature small,
He’ll not a cent be giving,
Will study deviant behaviours fancy flight?
And he’ll listen to their plight,
Their struggle and compulsions,
A little bird falls out the nest,
Not help it back to flight,
He thinks it funny to berate,
Those that help a duck or drake,
Or a dolphin in the sea,
You wonder that could be,
Not help them, but you and me,
I’m sure there is an explanation,
Some exclamation in a book,
Wherein he sure could look,
Why to his species is so kind,
And to others is so blind,
But why denigrate those that really see,
Beyond the you and me,
See all relationships in life,
For love and care do strife,
On earth, the sky and sea©

You make some good point in your poem, J.H....but...Not always is "man" kind to his own species, just as there are those who are kind to all living things. We each need to nurture love in one another and reward with more {{Hugs}}!

Blessings and Love and {{Hugs}} to you! - Micke

the new society of human beings have certainly not demonstrated the compassion of past generations -- helping hands are not extended nearly as much as they once were -- the "I" syndrome is pervasive -- your message rings loud and profoundly Jasmin -- peace and love -- Jon Michael

257 polar foxes were captured and euthanized in Svalbard, Norway, the same people that are "crying" for the plight of Polar-bears but that are alright killing seal-puppies for their skin, and whales for "research"
The world is mad mad mad.

Jasmin, my friend, your compassion knows no end, and you are, indeed, a unique and shining soul. Respect for life seems hard to learn for too many....Jerry

But why denigrate those that really see

That picture is heartbreaking beyond words, and it sadly reminded me of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, when so many creatures were so horrendously left behind, by mankind.

If there is any hope left for so many of Earth's beings, many more will have to start seeing, through your eyes.

Hi Jasmin, this is so urgently true! You are passionate soul, my friend. And what a picture! Reminds me of a holocaust, eh? :(

In Spirit,

Jasmin,

Yours is a voice of compassion and reason rising above our new twisted and lost old values. I hear you so clearly.

You bring out so many strong, compassionate emotions, though true to fact and one day the fate of mankind will be forced to answer for all the misdeeds...

Be always safe,

The Bible says "A righteous man takes care of the needs of his animals."
But nowadays, the mans asks - "who takes care of the righteous man?"
So his pets suffer neglect.
