Heart Breaks


Yes I have endured heart breaks too,
Every time I see an orphaned child picking uprags on the road,My heart breaks a little
Every time I visit the old lady next door,Waiting for years now for her son to arrive,While hoping against hope,My heart breaks a little
Every time I drop a coin into the bowl of a crippled man,Who sits near the temple in all weathers,My heart breaks a little
Every time I pass a dog lying dead on the road,Having been crushed by a vehicle, Just like another thingMy heart breaks a little
Every time I order high priced food in a café,And leave some part of it untouched,Even when I know there are people dying of hungerMy heart breaks a little
Every time I read about the crimes in the city,while having my morning coffee,and close the paper with a heavy sigh,My heart breaks a little
Every time I set aside enough fortune to grant,But instead spend most of it on unworthy lavishness,My heart breaks a little
Every time I turn blind and stolid to my surroundings,Every time I make and break promises to do my bit for this world,Every time I am impassive to the sufferings of others,Every time I indulge myself with extra comfort and elegance,Every time I turn selfish and cruel with no regards for others,My heart breaks a little,It breaks a little more,And it will keep breaking down,Until it is shattered to its demise.
