Upon reading this I have to reflect upon the little I know about this ... And I shudder ... In a deep silence ... Hats off to the compassion in your haiku ...

It is sad the state of thing in this world, if only more would read your uplifting and encouraging daily thoughts my friend, I think this world could be a better place.

Thank you for understanding the reason I write my friend, Chris! If only more people could appreciate my daily inspirational writing things might have been a tiny bit better my friend! You have asked me were it comes from. My answer is I am just the wire the electricity pass through! Thank you my friend for your kind words!
