Illustration by Paola Bilancieri.
As children roam empty streets
Their eyes dried of tears
As the mentally challenged
Find no solace, no help
As single mothers
Ask in vain for food
Deprived of their most basic support
Unjustly taken away from them
As the disabled fight, and lose, against their fate
And promised help never comes
We wait for compassion to show its face
We wait for compassion to show the best of us
Compassion will give meaning to our lives
Because this is what we need in today’s world
For the children, the unprotected, the aged and the challenged
Compassion will unite us, and will save the world.
