Fellow Feelings.
You can not share my hunger;
But your food, you can;
You cannot feel my thirst,
Nor can you suffer my drought;
But your water you always can;.
You cannot share my death throes;
But you can postpone my death,
If not prevent me from dying.
When there is a mind to donate
One’s blood for those to survive,
Why this short term thought
That resources are mine and mine only?
The spirit of fellow feeling
Is not in sharing your surpluses
But in giving in to the voice of distress
By sharing something you need,
With someone whose life
Lies in your hands to lose or last.
P.Chandrasekaran.
