That Many People Lack In Empathy Poem by Francis Duggan

That many people lack in empathy does not come as a surprise
There would be a huge drop in the serious crime rate if more people could empathize
On how a similar crime done to them would impact on them and their family
But for self analysis in such a way one does need empathy
Those with the gift of empathy are blessed indeed
And of far more of their kind the Human World is in need
Those who do have empathy the fair go for all does embrace
And they can put themselves in another person's place
Such people are never in the majority
And this more the pity would you not agree?
Since in a World with more people with empathy there would be less people serving prison time
And less wars and terrorism and in general less crime
But people with empathy in the minority in the Human World of today
And that this is a pity does seem a fair thing for to say.
