We All Have Compassion
We all have compassion
for those less fortunate than us;
and we readily open our helping arms
to those who need consolation...
Our judgement must not be harsh,
because we cannot fault in prejudice
and be unfair and preposterous;
furthermore be heartless and undignified...
We all have compassion,
compelling us to listen to reason:
not to be amoral and step aside;
misunderstanding is a lack of disregard...
Our society has taught us to be prudent,
to avoid interference or even be intolerant;
there are many diseases that can't be cured:
this one is the stigmata that should not be ignored...
