Seed of Concern

My Lord,

Give us the will
To overcome our heartless indifference for
Those who suffer 

So as 

Able us to be,
In the ever-stretching desert of apathy, your  
Seed of concern to sow!

Demetrios, A most wise and moving message indeed. Our World and the many who suffer each day and night makes one want to cry. My fervent hope is that we can all change this one day!! Best Wishes Always, Gary

Hi Demetrios! Yes, we both know that there's a lot of this and that around, and suffering and much pain is sadly one of them and always been. We live for most part in a very sad world filled of so much selfishness and materialism. Too much of it that so many discard true love for those.Your poem show so much caring, my dear friend. My heart breaks too to all that's is been of valued ignored by so many. Excellent poem! Have a great Sunday! Love and hugs!;) xxxx D.
