For Compassion
for compassion...
hate like silent venom flows
spewing forth in dribs and drabs
how will the wounds ever heal
with such vitriol tearing at the scabs
we shudder at the words of hate
and wonder will it ever cease
but hope springs forth for
we know it begins within us, now, today
with the simplest acts of human compassion
so that gentle love may banish the hate away
