Let's rid our crumbling hearts Of the plaintive extravagance, That empties us, of mercy. The trauma, of painful experiences And undeserved cruelty, Doesn't always suggest Persistent demise; Or, even, the entitlement To accord others the same fate. Instead, the pervading grief May be utilized As a Herculean impetus Towards a greater capacity To empathize And create humongous change!
