Compassion Acts
Many minds grow cold and numb
to traumas, to conflicts and violence
when world views clash and take
form to shake a fragile World.
Bombs and bullets shake the World.
Weapons of light and sound shake the World.
Alarms and warnings go unheeded.
Some minds calculate, analyze, strategize
how to kill and kill and kill.
Some minds calculate, analyze, strategize
how to keep alive, alive and well,
the unresponsive Heart of Man
shocked again, again, again,
whether shocked for good or ill.
The Living know full well
that when Humanity has a will, a will
to live in peace, it finds a way.
God helps those who help themselves
and others. Compassion acts.
