It is good to land a listening ear
To someone genuinely in pain
Even more wonderful to give
A helping hand to one in need.
But to swallow the venom of
Malicious minds poured upon
Your heart and lose your own
Peace of mind is unhealthy.
Don’t be the one standing at the
Middle of a mudslinging game where
For each miss you get a hit, pretty
Soon covered with the mud allover.
Compassion is not a perfunctory
And superficial curtesy. Be genuine
In your speech and actions and strong
Enough to ward off reckless demands.
