Our Share Of Guilt To Bear Poem by John Sensele

Our share of the blame to bear
Our share of bliss to enjoy
If only for the poor we care
As to an orphan we bring a teddybear toy.

Our share of shame to show
Our share of selfishness to ditch
If only a little understanding we grow
As to altruism we switch.

Our share of cohesion to build
Our share of disunity to dismiss
If only love for the poor we yield
As to the vulnerable we grant bliss.

Our share of effort to make
Our share of care to entertain
If only to a famished infant we offer a cake
As we determine sympathy and empathy to maintain.
