For kindness

So they say that empathy is weakness.
Say that it’s for fools and the ‘woke’ 

But it’s what separates us from barbarism 
And it will always be needed for the common human vote.

Empathy is kindness, fascism is hate and fear. Empathy is what they play on to make you drink their beer! 

But keep your kindness and empathy deep inside. Help people less advantaged whenever it is them you find. 

Never turn your mind to darkness or your heart will follow through. 
Be ‘woke’ be empathetic, live for kindness and be the very best version of you.
