Courage and Compassion
Courage and compassion,
Noblest virtues of humanity.
Courage to face everyday,
No matter the pain.
Compassion for those
Whom endure the same.
In these days,
Only the most compassionate
Have the courage
To change the world.
In these times,
Seems only the courageous
Are the most compassionate.
But you as well have it in you,
To wield this sword and shield.
For with courage and compassion,
You, too, have the power to change the world.
Courage and compassion,
Though so few live up to these virtues,
Trust in due time, soon,
The courageously compassionate
Will rise together in multitudes.
In these days,
Many are learning from the consequences
Of cowardly contempt.
In these times,
All we can do for now,
Is hope for more
Of the courageously compassionate
To awaken and revolutionize the world.
