AS TEARS ROLLED DOWN MY CHEEKS!

AS TEARS ROLLED DOWN MY CHEEKS!

As tears rolled down my cheeks,

I thought... 💭

Why should sadness - ONLY to me 

Be brought? 

That time, a tear came in front of me, 

And said:

This is the path

Every human has to tread. 

For sweetest things

Turn sourest by their deeds, 

Lilies that fester, 

Smell far worse than weeds!

I am forced to trickle down your eyes, 

Because of what you do:

O that you gave a penny 

To the hungry beggar whom you shoed! 

Your family,  whom you call

"As precious as a gem" 💎 ,

Did you spare a moment from your phone, 

To care for them? 

You heartily pose for a selfie

To show how happy you are, 

But did you apologize to your 'enemy'

Whom you fought with, and gave a scar? 

You expect everyone 

To speak well with you, 

But for how rudely you speak to ur fellows, 

Your mouth you should beshrew! 

What humans did to nature, 

Is being reflected today. 

And for the torture to animals, 

You have a heavy price to pay.

What you do today, 

Will come to you tomorrow. 

So don't do any misdeed, 

Because of which you'll have a curse to borrow!

I am speaking the words

Your heart ♥ couldn't express, 

But deep down, 

Was making you depressed. 

I clean the wounds of your troubled soul,

When your pains start taking a huge toll.

I am a way for you to repent,

So that you no longer have to lament!

So,  do GOOD deeds

And I'll never come to you 

You should smile☺ again, 

Is my motto,  to be true :)
