My Heart Weeps For Humanity

MY heart weeps for humanity
I pray for the people of the World.
Endemics, earthquakes, floods and hurricanes
devastating people's lives.

Children being slaughtered in their classrooms, by weapons of war!
My heart weeps for humanity
People are being slaughtered in their Churches, Grocery stores or just sitting out watching a parade, by weapons of war!
My heart weeps for humanity
Our children are living in fear.
Our parents are living in fear.
Our seniors are living in fear.

While politicians continue to play with our children's lives
all because of greed, they have no empathy for the other.
They seem to think that this epidemic of weapons of war! it has nothing to do with them, until it comes to their home.
My heart weeps for humanity

The words of SAI--BABA comes to mind.
Politics without principles
Education without character
Science without humanity Commerce without morality, are not only useless but positively dangerous.
My heart weeps for humanity
