I cry for them all.

The Black Lives That Matter.

The Unborn made a commodity.

The magnificent creatures killed to satisfy ego.

The abandoned,

The hungry,

The mistreated and abused,

The exploited bounty of a beautiful world.

I long for change.

But you cannot beat change into humanity.

I will not add my voice to the din and chaos

of angry righteousness.

There is too much of that.

It is said that only love can conquer hate.

So I will raise my voice in a Song of Love and Compassion

For all of them.
