Fear not, fellow citizens of this town,
For the debts of kindness,
The deeds of a citizen kind at heart,
Shall always be repaid –
If not by this one,
Then by another in his stead.
Those who turn their back
On the plight of their fellow men,
Comprehend not the beauty,
Or the intricacy, of the law of love;
Wherein all are as the facets of a jewel
That shines by reflected light.
The observer who truly sees,
Sees not the brightness
Of this facet or that,
But looks upon the jewel as a whole;
So it is with humanity:
The maker sees but a single soul.
When Gandhi spoke, or Vivekananda,
Of a distant hope,
They chanced upon a tool,
The value of which cannot be determined,
By the laws of causation alone.
Which enables
The alchemist of the mind
To unlock the bonds of kindness,
That bind together the souls
Of a myriad beings.
