A very meaning of sympathy.
As the others look the other way.
Hand to mouth, child to child.
As the rich man plays with his toys.
the children down the road have none.
Empty in being
empty in matter.
As the spirit of compassion runs away
they look into another day.
Old man Johnson did say, 'The children are our future, '
As they enter into their destiny.
