Let Empathy Bloom

In this world, differences abound,

Why do we let hatred resound?

What makes fear so pervasive in our hearts?

Tearing us apart, keeping us apart?

For with the unknown, we find,

A chance to expand our mind.

Yet, often, we buckle to the lure,

Of prejudice and bias. Oh, how mature?

Why do we hate what's different, you ask?

For ignorance often wears a menacing mask.

It blinds our vision, narrows our sight,

Blocking the beauty that could ignite.

But let us seek another day,

To learn from others and their ways.

For in the vastness of ignorance,

Lies the chance for growth, wisdom, and sense.

Instead of cruelty, let empathy bloom,

And dispel the darkness that causes gloom.

Let us embrace the mosaic of mankind,

For it is in diversity that we'll find.

A richness that can enrich our souls,

And mend the wounds that judgment tolls.

So, let's think with our hearts and open our minds

Let variances merge, let love form its binds.

So let us not fear those we don't comprehend,

Instead, reach out and befriend.

For as one, we can find our way,

While embracing differences every day.
