Humanity

With all of humanity becoming withered and worn

Souls empty, loveless, tattered and torn

Much greed and hatred now seems to reign

Kindness and consideration only they feign

A light still flickers albeit small

Some see its radiance and heed its call

Teaching others these skill in which they lack

To overcome fear and hatred to bring the peace back

Kindness is mistaken for weakness to a many today

But, it shall be the strength for the world one day
