Compassion

 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
