RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: SOCIAL CONSCIOUSNESS
A Social Conscience
Fundamental to life
All beings possess a social conscience
Crows guard collective territory
Wolves howl to warn the pack
Whales sing empathic sorrow
Dolphins swarm to protect the weak
When we speak we speak in all voices
When we sing we add to the symphony
Of all humanity throughout time
The triumph of one inspires all
The tragedy of one breaks all hearts
We are born without greed
We are born without selfishness
We are born to be socially aware
We are born to serve and care
We are born to rise above ourselves
To seek the comfort of our fellow beings
Greed is a disease of the soul
Humility is the cure
Pity those who are wrapped within themselves
Who cannot see beyond their own reflection
For they are warped and tortured beings
Destined to grief and loneliness
