Why does the heart feel empty?
There's so much love to give,
But none to take.

It's empty yet so heavy.
How can it be so lifeless,
And still ache?

Into the wilderness—
With no trace of humanity.
Lies a world so peaceful,
Totally unaware of reality.

Take a big earthen ***
Add all the people there,
Even if you like it or not...
Now pour in a cup of care.

Watch with patience for a while
Let it simmer till you see some smile,
See the colours blending in—
And nothing different can be seen.

Now add some praise and respect,
A pinch of gloom just to offset.
A handful of joy to your taste,
Melded together to make a paste.

Put the jar of segregation apart—
Instead, add some integration with heart.
Mix it well and leave it to rest,
To make it taste its level best.

Garnish it with some grated love
Little humanity, for the cherry on top.
That's how you make a lovely dish—
The dish of love, the dish of peace!
