God asks us

those who have been to us callous
what toward them is our response 
do ripples scar our void-like stance
is compassion held in love’s sconce

Good Morning. Your poem asks a very responsible question. We need to be more Christ-like. I enjoyed your words and what they mean to me and my responses. A very blessed poem! - Daniel

I like your question poem and it's focus on choosing a response, and observing compassion in the remit of love. I also like the /ns/ sounds of the end-of-line words - seeming to remind of the word 'response' and pull away from 'callous'.
