Compassion
Turn the pages — read the lines
Understand the suffering imposed
Feel compassion for those worse off
A deep awareness with added sympathy
Wanting to do something godly
But being powerless to start
Mortal limitations hamper action
Mother Nature is a cruel dictator
The wisdom of her years seems harsh
Her laws many times are broken
But fundamentally can't be changed
Just have to flow with the tide for now
Hoping for a sea of change one day to appear
