My
Broken
Friend I hug
The world swallowed
By the hand of greed
I can give so little
Face covering a small step
It is hoped each will do their best
To stop the tears of pain and heartbreak
So the world can spin in harmony once more…

Yes it amazes me how thoughtless people are. Even people who show know better. I see it all the time even at my work space. Sigh.
