~ Unbelievable Human Race… ~ 

☆ 

In bygone era, a divine

human breed did thrive,

With hearts aglow, and

the compassion alive

* 

They’d carry sugar’s casket,

a complimentary treat,

For tiny ants’ feed, a sweet

gesture,  oh  so  sweet

 *

On rooftops high, they’d willfully

spread  the  millet  grains

For birds to happily feast, in

Sunshine, wind or the rains

 *

They kept at their doors, water

filled, cauldrons very huge

For the parched throats animals

a thirst  quenching  refuge

 *

Their tables nicely laid out, for

a feast for more and more

Cows, birds, and beasts, all

gathered ‘neath their door

 * 

When bird flocks descended,

they’d welcome with glee,

“God’s  birds, God’s  fields,

eat carefree and fly free..!”

 *

They’d guide the lost strangers

with love and gentle care,

Hospitality, greetings and food

they  would  always share

 *

Their courteous such behaviour,

an unending, timeless  tale,

Shall break all the epochal

barricades; forever, to prevail

 *

 May their saga live on forever

as  a  path-guiding  light,

A timeless testament to love,

That’ll ever shine so bright

* 

In memory of such good samaritans,

a  museum  must  be  created

For benefit of coming generations,

Their work, must be celebrated
