In days gone by it seemed to be 
there was more compassion and love.
People cared for one another 
and every man was a “brother.”
In our quest for fame and fortune, 
we now don’t seem to even care 
about the misfortune and suffering 
of those around us everywhere.
“It’s about time that we used wisdom, 
showed courage and compassion universally,
putting our own needs aside for a while
and heeding the importance of these three.”
We must again show our fellow man, 
before it is too late, 
that faith, hope and love now take the place 
of indifference and hate.
Sympathetic concern for others 
and aiding in their misfortune and suffering
will benefit not only them but you as well.
And who knows what other joy this will bring?
