Compassion

Compassion it is a great gift when all is said and done
You will find it in some people but not in everyone
In a World of Compassion of famines and wars we would be free
And we would not be hearing of crimes against humanity.

It is never in the ruthless such a gift they don't possess
For to get what they want in life some people are merciless
In their climb up the success ladder they knock other people down
And compassion can be sadly lacking in the wealthiest one in town.

You will find it in most women as well as in some men
Those who do not believe that some must lose for others for to win
But those who lack in compassion do not see it that way
One might say in the Human World they are the birds and beasts of prey.

Compassion is a marvellous gift some have in them empathy
And they can be easily moved to tears at the sad things that they see
And though it goes without saying that ruthlessness is a bad human flaw
There is nothing that states that it is a crime in any man made law.
