Empathy fosters compassion
Compassion fosters community
Community is what has allowed us
To survive and thrive over thousands of years
And yet it is these virtues
Which are under attack in today’s world
If we lose sight of them
We lose ourselves
However, there is hope
While an ember of humaneness still lingers
Let us fan it until it once again burns brightly
And our sense of community is strong
It is our collective duty
If we are willing to accept it
The “Good Fight is never easy”
But it is more than well worth it
