Mercy

Mercy

P K Routray

On extinction is the rarest breed.

To show off, cruel man exhibits his heinous greed.

Refer to gospels of any religion and religious scripture

“You shall not kill” is the mandate clear.

Man killing a creature and man behind the killer

both are sinners as pronounced in every single scripture

Do such men want to live alone with heavenly pleasure

with all in creation at beck and call but without any creature?

Environmentalists tell “Without men the earth can exist longer

but without a moth the earth will meet it’s doom much earlier.”

Hey sinful man! Shun such acts of cruelty and inhumanity

Mercy is the divine human value; please nurture it with humility.
