Going Out Of Fashion

In a Human World that is tinged with joy and sorrow
For some of us there may not be a tomorrow
For death to us all does come sooner or later
Than the greatest human the Reaper of lives far greater

In a World where millions every day for success are competing
In every workplace and every work board meeting
A dying thing indeed the thing known as compassion
In the twenty first century it is going out of fashion

Of social inequality for future generations of people there is nothing surer
As the rich are getting richer and the poor getting poorer
Spiritually bankrupt indeed are those who cannot feel any pity
For the poor of the village, the town or the city

The people who help the poor i feel are worth admiring
Of them one can say that they are truly inspiring
In a Human World where many do lack in compassion
And kindness does seem to be going out of fashion.
