25. where are those people

Where are those people
Who complement others
For the sake of lighting up
A random stranger's day?

Those who bask in the joy of others
Instead of dragging them down.
Applauding their power
And not looking at them with a frown.

Where are those people
Who are ready to help,
Those impoverished in need
not caring about their caste or creed.

They who love to see love bloom,
Not caring about the silver spoon
And get down on one knee
To help those who wish to be Somebody .

Why are there more of those
Who stand in the way?
Selfish and self-centered
Raining on others parade.

But less of the good people
Who stand by when no-one else is behind,
Supporting and giving a hand
Not looking for rewards in cash or kind.

Where are those people?
They're dwindling day by day,
Don't be a cripple
When you can become one of those people.
