A Lesson in Humanity…
The tsunami in the pacific,
Gave us all lessons so specific,
How easily Nature does take away life,
How our lives tend to be sometimes horrific…
Compassion is to humans,
As loyalty is to dogs,
We need to mimic animals,
They do know how to live and love,
Their compassion does fit like a glove,
Also they do not need, to love, a shove…
Humanity according to the dictionary,
States the “quality of being humane,”
I have never seen mankind, to be such, strain,
We seem to be satisfied; with ourselves as we are, we do remain…
Can any of us give the other a lesson in humanity?
Certainly not I, though I do try to herein,
We all seem to be happy with our self-vanity,
When in reality, we all should be dealing with our insanity…
