Humanity

H ow many amongst us thrive on compassion U nderstanding the plight of neglected brethren? M others oppressed, children abused, while most A ccept this dire reality as a part of life's equation: N umb are we, harsh as modern conduct... I nstead, let's care for others, ease their pain T ouching lovingly oh souls lashed by barbs of night: Y ou and I can share this grace... an act, humane. 11/16/2017 John hamilton's Humanity-Acrostic Contest

Sadly not enough thrive on compassion, because they are too busy judging and belittling others... You wrote a great acrostic..
