Empathy – Delhi Poetry Slam

Empathy

By Dishti Khullar

Human know not how to express,
To console the ones who is depressed.

Does it ever come into our thought 
Empathy is the one they want.

Street vendors, working hard day and night,
To shop from them is to give them smile.

People suffering from wars,
Cried for the loss of the adored 
Is that what they got from God?

No, God gave them peace and happiness,
Humans gave them tears and sadness.

Now, empathy is the one to give them 
To put them out of their pain.

It is then
The solace they will gain.
