Compassion

 Is our need to consume blinding us 

  to another persons need,

  another life lost.

Have we no stock in compassion?

  Is it only mine, our own,

  not another's shoes we walk.

Meaningless words crime, punish,

  war, mental, foreign,

  right, wrong,boxes all.

Which don't touch on person,

  family, son, daughter, 

  siblings all connected.

Cut off we fling them far

 from us, hoping

  we don't touch it.
