A half-dead cat
Sprawled in the middle of the road
Its back legs crushed
Its fur all bloody
And everyone just passes by

A homeless man
On the busy sidewalk of Broadway Avenue
He begs for some spare change
He is hungry and cold
And everyone just passes by

Our culture is numb
No compassion for the unfortunate
It is sad how materialistic
Our society has become
Money is power
And it’s justifiable to neglect
Anyone who is different
No one takes time anymore
To value the important things
The things life is really about
Helping others and caring

About a poor, dying cat…
About a cold, starving man…*

There is not ONE person in this world that you cannot live without.

Yes,  I agree....the fast lane of life and
life itself has created a numbed culture
and society ...  though there are still some
who carry compassion...and care.

Thanx,  enjoyed the reflective write...
