Compassion

Compassion, one of the most beloved feelings the world seems to be lacking

Modern times seems to have made this feeling appear “out of fashion”

Modern times seems to have made compassion a rare commodity given out in rations,

Why are feelings of compassion such a rarity?

Why does humanity act as if care and empathy are in a state of scarcity?

Why is it that when I imagine a world of peace and prosperity, my mind reaches stages of complexity?

Let me explain, because this is word doesn’t seem to be to mundane, and that’s been feeding on my brain

Feeding until I lose every cell in my membrane,

The figurative apparel of the good and whole hearted, seems to have been subsided,

It’s much easier today to see hatred, a feeling in which there seems to be no attempts of hiding

Hatred is a feeling that can reside in,

Anybody

There is no escaping from this feeling

The pure ill will and disgust of a person or a thing, nowadays is so appealing

So appealing that the display of hatred is spoon fed to the masses,

On anything, in the papers, on social media, in articles, on television

The worst part of being human seems to be the thing that makes a killing,

A modern day racist, or a killing something that’s always in my vision

The disease of hatred within people doesn’t seem like something we want prevented,

This condition is a pandemic

And it’s spreading through the nations

Hearing these stories brings me such frustration

That these bringers of evil have laid this foundation

Hatred, in all forms like, racism, sexism, supremacism

The list seems ever lasting

Of all the forms of hate we’ve labeled, it’s really flabbergasting

People act on their forms of hatred, because actions speak louder than words

And since actions speak louder than words, these people are leaving others hurt

No more of this pain, and hate, now we start to mitigate

Society begins to mitigate, all its feelings related to hate

After all of this they all start to rejuvenate

Compassion, comes back to fruition

Hate, violence, weapons disappeared,

They realized love was the strongest ammunition

The utopia that was so difficult for me to imagine

It’s really easy to obtain, if people put one thing into action

It’s their ability to feel compassion

The ability to feel

Walking a lifetime in other’s shoes

Everyone agrees this lifestyle would be ideal

But we’ve fallen into disgust, and people turn to others to abuse

All they need is a little empathy

Just a little bit of sympathy

So, the people that hate can see what they have done to me

But, it’s okay

Because nowadays this has become custom

But I still feel for them

And that causes a conundrum

How can you feel for someone that hates, steals, and kills?

Well it’s simple, people just decide to overlook it

Compassion has been the answer, that’s all it is
