Change
Empathy is a commodity
few can afford.
If you feel it,
you’re bound to have more
than you bargained for
‘cause feeling can be painful.
It can drag you down,
the weight of the hate
that is spreading around.
If you start to take notice
of what is happening
there’s an obligation
to do something.
To not stand down,
to put up a fight.
You may feel alone,
but that’s not right.
There are many others
that feel the same
so stand up
and make a change.
