Carrying our cross

The world celebrates The One

Who carried the cross on behalf of

Human kind, yet there are countless 

People who carry their crosses non-stop

The One was lucky to have endured the

Suffering for a short time, but these others

Have no end to their sufferings in sight

Just like the case of The One, people

Who can do something turn a blind eye to

These cross bearers, making them suffer more

But are we the onlookers the real sufferers?

When the time comes for us to bear our crosses

We would not be ready and there will not be

Anyone to life the weight of us

Better act to help the cross bearers now

If not for any high moral ground at least

For selfish reasons, for your cross bearing time  

Will come sooner than you think
