Will you?

Life is a lonely road
In a world so cold
Where humanity
Takes a back seat
To depravity
And apathy
Restless souls
Wandering
And pondering
Wondering -
Where do I go?
What is my place?
In this world
Of the unknown
Running away
To a hiding place
Hearts misplaced
Losing faith
What do you say?
To a spirit displaced
Will you be the one?
To reach out
Will you be the one?
To help out
Will you extend a hand?
To your fellow man
Will you walk?
A mile
In their shoes
Will you understand?
What it’s like
To lose
Will you take?
That first step
For a journey
Of the lives
Unsung

    Definitely thought provoking. It also reminds me of a song. I will have to think of what that song is.
