Isn’t it a pity
That we have two eyes
But fail to see
The unending misery..
We have ears
But are deaf to the cries
Of the trodden few
Who are crushed and trampled
And dread a day new..
We have a mouth
But will not speak
Of the horrors that we find
Are we deaf, mute and blind??
Our brains do register
The trauma everywhere
But the soul fails to conquer
The fear that is there.
We are the mute generation
What legacy will we leave
Can we touch with our love?
And the source of despair heal??
If we can’t take concrete action
At least we can speak
About the atrocities we see
And try to find a key..
So let’s wake up from our torpor
And lend a helping hand
To save a precious life
In brotherhood, with others, Stand

A call to be human and a great message to all of us. Well written
if only people would understand and act upon the message, it would be great. though i know its almost next to impossible these days
