Walk . . .

(from https://allpoetry.com/poems/about/Empathy by LakesidePoet) 

Who's With Me?
I wish that I could TEACH
the art of empathy,
requiring that all
earn their master's degree.

So few of us will pry
our eyes off of our screens
to look at what goes on
in life behind the scenes.

I see the little girl
so EAGER for a home,
a mommy and daddy
who'll love her as their own.

I see the teenage boy
attempting to look FIERCE;
a moment of your time -
through his facade you'd pierce.

I see the single mom
whose dreams went up in SMOKE
the day "Prince Charming" left
her beaten, pregnant, broke.

I see the Veteran
with STERLING in his hair,
he sees our HOLLOW looks
and how little we care.

It's time we look around
with eyes that truly see
and show our fellow man
a little empathy.
