HUMAN KINDNESS
Bloody nose of poverty
Insulting disregard
Leaves us wounded in dishonor
Without deaths convenience
Roaring wave of indignation
Crashing down with brutal force
On maimed self esteem
Bitter thoughts of failure
Invade fragile wary minds
Incessant hunger pangs
Deeply pounding
Indecent existence uninvited
Wretched
Deplorable
Dismal
Humility ushers hope
Human kindness can rescue misery
Through acts of charitable sacrifice
To walk in shoes of urgency
Breeds patient insight
Our arms extended in loving mercy
Christ’s greatest triumph
