Notes About The Poem

" COMMON GOOD " MY PHOTO, ©

Sacrificing Self-Interest

Oh, Empathy,

you divine child of love,

I implore Thee to help us sacrifice our

self-interest

on

the altar of common good

for

only in this way mankind could put aside

their differences and find solutions

for

the benefit of us all!
