Empathy

 I often wonder as you speak, 

Spread your venom through words and deeds,

What does it take to be kind?

Why is it so hard to find?

Perhaps you need a little empathy, 

A bit of tolerance, 

A pinch of humility 

And a lot of love, 

Is it so hard to lack?

What does it take to be nice?

A few good words, 

A little encouragement 

Finding positivity 

And a lot of confidence.

I wonder why the world has lost its kindness.

Perhaps because in putting others down 

In making them cry 

In proving others wrong 

And abusing their ideas;

One seeks the superiority 

They otherwise lack vision.
