RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Compassion
Let us be judged by our compassion
For the most needful among us
The ones who are out of fashion
Scattered like windblown dust
For the homeless and oppressed
For the hopeless and depressed
For the discarded and distressed
For the destitute and depraved
For the hungry and enslaved
For the desperate and enraged
If we cannot end homelessness
If we cannot stop abuse
If we cannot cure depression
If we have no more to lose
If we cannot eliminate hunger
If we cannot eradicate rage
Let’s at least possess compassion
As we christen a compassionate age
