Inspiration for poem
Elderly and Homeless abuse

Humility

A modest or low view of one's own importance; humbleness. 
People are quick to judge one another 
Never considering, with patience, what's their plight 
Empathy allows your heart and soul to meet people where they are 

Understanding that the human anatomy is flawed 
No human being was created to be perfect 
However, sympathy and compassion can be a starting point 
One may say, that mothers are givers of unconditional love 

Each person on the planet, is given the ultimate love, daily, mercy and grace 
If only, people would take a deeper dive into their inner self reflections
Chances are, they would realize that we are all the same, irrespective of race 
People often times, dismiss the truth about themselves, saying I'm trying to find myself

People have more things in common, than their differences, if you’d listen 
Whatever hardships, tribulations or tough times that people are dealing with, don't criticize and be discouraging, rather encourage and inspire 
Always present yourself as a positive example of understanding and acceptance 
When you’re riding high, don't think that you’re better and above your fellow neighbors, because God giveth and taketh away

Never underestimate the power of change, up today, down tomorrow 
Walk a mile in my shoes, simply says treat people the same way you want to be treated 
Often times God will remove the covers, of hidden darkness and deception 
Homeless people are mistreated, abused and disrespected daily 

Meaningful love given, is a recipe for caring 
People please remove the hatred and degradation 
Ask yourselves, do I make fun and spew negative jokes towards those not on your level 
Take ownership of your actions, because humility, humbleness are prerequisites for unconditional love
