The wealth of wealth is wealth of grace
Earthly wealth e'en the basest has.
Seek by sound ways good compassion;
All faiths mark that for - salvation.
The hearts of mercy shall not go
Into dark worlds of gruesome woe.
His soul is free from dread of sins
Whose mercy serves all beings.
The wide wind-fed world witness bears;
Men of mercy meet not sorrows.
Who grace forsake and graceless act
The former loss and woes forget.
This world is not for wealthless ones
That world is not for graceless swines.
The wealthless may prosper one day;
The graceless never bloom away.
Like Truth twisted by confused mind
Wisdom is vain in hearts unkind.
Think how you feel before the strong
When to the feeble you do wrong.
COMPASSION
