In a world where might and right collide,
And politics cut deep and wide,
If empathy could bridge our fears,
Perhaps we'd find the common ground
Amidst the noise, the shouts, the tears.

With hearts that listen, eyes that see,
The human truth in you and me,
We'd trace the lines that pain has drawn,
And know we're not so far apart,
Each thread of life, a fragile dawn.

To walk a mile in another's shoes,
To understand their joy, their blues,
Could soften walls and heal divides,
A shared humanity would bloom,
Where love and hope and peace reside.

So let us lean on kindness' light,
And seek to turn the dark to bright,
For in the end, our fears dissolve,
When met with grace and open hearts,
United, strong, and more evolved.
