In a facade devoid of care, Where falsehoods weave a tangled snare,
Cloaked in virtue, a saintly guise, Concealing motives under heavenly skies,
Crushing dreams with ruthless might, Stripping innocence out of sight,
Emotionless, devoid of grace, Pursuing self-gain in every space.
From exploitation's seed we start, Yet empowerment can mend the heart,
Where green revolutions bloom and thrive, Healing wounds to keep hope alive,
From jealousy's grasp, inspiration's born, Lighting paths where envy's torn,
Fear fades as adventure calls, Breaking chains in daring falls,
From hatred's grip, forgiveness gleams, Illuminating the path to peaceful streams,
Anger dissipates, tolerance prevails, Bridging gaps where understanding sails.
Compassion, not merely a feeling's flight, But a divine spark igniting in the night,
A silent hand that offers aid, Putting aside one's own desires laid,
More than sympathy's shallow tear, It's being present, ever near,
Generosity in silent grace, Shunning spotlight's selfish chase,
Today, let's embrace this noble art, Extending hope, and healing every heart,
For in compassion's gentle embrace, We find redemption, a sacred space.
