Compassion Or Fashion!

When the pretty young lass,
adorning the crown,

Spoke of compassion in every
verb, adverb and noun,

Was it compassion or fashion?

Or compassion as a fashion?

* * * * *

When the prince sat with the poor,

The flashbulbs clicked, he made sure;

When he ate from their plate,

a crowd was arranged to watch from the gate,

Was it compassion or fashion?

Or compassion as a fashion?

* * * * *

They tweeted and blogged,

About the downtrodden and robbed,

For some likes and votes,

And some appreciating quotes,

Was it compassion or fashion?

Or compassion as a fashion?

* * * * *

The marathon they ran this week,

In white caps and T-shirts so sleek,

For the abandoned and weak,

Was it compassion or fashion?

Or compassion as a fashion?

* * * * *

She wore a sari as fair as her heart,

In her hands, played God’s art,

When she touched souls and loved them here,

The compassion said, "You are me, oh dear! ”
