Literature Text

It does not do to hurt one another,
For one is to all a brother.
Pain is an isolation
From all human relation.


To each other, we are all bound;
Through each other, our identities found.

No lone man may be whole,
For loneliness withers the soul.
Compassion so desperately needed
(By kindness it is seeded.)

No regard for violence
Complete and utter silence!
In the place of global outcry,
A great, resigned, societal sigh!

Where did our care go?
Did we forget, we reap what we sow?

There's some strange illusion of separation,
Perpetuated by each and every nation.
(When did compassion come into conflation
With this ridiculous conflagration?)

It brings to one a sense of elation
This wonderful sensation
This exuberant feeling, that of
Helping and healing those you love.

...Why did we ever let it fade away?
First poem from my little notebook I've taken to writing poetry in. A little rough, but good, I think.
