Let’s Focus on a Compassion Pandemic by Margaret Blackman, age 80

Let’s focus on a Compassion Pandemic!
This world is exhausted with trouble and strife
Reeling from war, hanging on to life.
The news is filled with death and destruction,
Sorrow abounds; no time for love or construction.
Gentle thoughts become lost every day.

Now it is time to have our say!
We are warriors who have a voice.
Kindness and gentleness can be our choice.
It costs nothing to be kind, only time!
Stand up and be counted, get in line.
The Human Race needs all the love it can get.
Mother Earth trembles in case we forget.
