What perspective taught you kindness, understanding, and empathy?
What emptiness can you use to say, “For another, I will be.”
Perspectives are meant to be used as catalysts to move;
To act and make a difference toward issues you can improve.
Issues that grab your heart and stir emotions already there;
Teaching compassion for others due to what you had to bear.
Spin your injustice and pain to another’s gold and gain.
Spin your heartache and lack into something that you can give back.
What perspective taught you sympathy, consideration, and to care?
What emptiness can you use to say, “For another, I will spare.”
Perspectives are meant to be used to change and instigate;
To act and make a difference toward issues to cultivate.
Issues that grab your heart and stir emotions already there;
Teaching compassion for others due to what you had to bear.
Spin your injustice and pain to another’s gold and gain.
Spin your heartache and lack into something that you can give back.
