I'm A Soul

A wonderful song that captured my heart, the song says:

"I am a soul, I am a soul

I am just like you in my fear, and in my pain as well

Flesh and blood screaming.. looking for safety

I am a stray dog, my friend, has no place

I walk beside you.. hoping for anything to eat

I am not asking for anything but tenderness

The earth is not yours alone

This universe is for all

Your God created me to live beside you

Why do you kill me and make me perish?

I am a soul just like you, Oh human

It is my right to live, I'm created in this world to share

In mercy, and I do not care [about anything else]

You say about me that I am savage, that I bite, and that I scare children

I wish you would ask one day what brought me to this state

When you closed the doors of mercy upon me

And a street that is harsh and terrifying

And a hunger that lived in my stomach

Without even a single loaf of bread

Fear taught us ferocity, and injustice made us scream

If you were in my place one day, perhaps your heart would have softened

Remember the old story of the cat

Whose owner entered Hellfire because of her?

She neither fed her nor let her go

Mercy is a test for the heart

Your God holds [everyone] accountable for the soul that suffers in silence

Do not be the cause of my death, and do not add to my groans."

All my appreciation to the one who wrote these words, the one who composed the melody, and the one who sang, it is a manifestation of the true meaning of humanity and faith in all religions.

All my appreciation also to those who show mercy to those on earth so that He who is in heaven will show mercy to them.
