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.

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