What will the rich
Understand the harsh winter?
In their warm houses,
And expensive quilts,
And a belly full of good food.
Ask the poor
Who sleep on pavements,
Or under the bridges,
Or in dilapidated shelters,
In Delhi’s freezing winters.
The winter outside
Can be kept away,
If people helped each other
With compassion and empathy
In their hearts.
But what about
The winter inside?
The winter of the heart!!
How do you warm the icy heart
And fill it with love?
Unless people think of
The less fortunate,
Unless wealth is used
To heal poverty and hunger
Of what use is it?
