”The Spear and the Staff” - Written by D. Sarkar 21st September 2015


So many people in distress
What difference can we make?
Those who are selfless feel helpless
In a World that needs a shake

People forced from their homes
Making dangerous journeys across the sea
Families live in poverty
People have nothing and are in need

Animals suffer cruelty
They are our companions
But rare species are being killed
So their hunter can feel like a champion

A shark’s fins are cut off
To make a tasteless and high-priced soup
Eating it only to show affluence
How low some people do stoop

Those that hunger for wealth
Allowing materialism to control
Hurting others for money and power
They drive a spear through their own soul

Turn that spear into a staff
Use it well and you will be supported
With it you are strong, you can go on
Guiding others whose happiness has been thwarted

Help yourself first
Then help others when you are able
Be kind to nature
These are changes we must enable

If you can help one, when they become strong
Then they could help someone else too
More people would benefit, life would be less shit
And the reason for that could be you
