The Alien

A poem of compassion

Do not push that button

do not eject yourself into

the emptiness of this

world – without love

compassion is what

you are looking for?

You will never find it in those empty rooms,

streets, cities.

They do not speak

your same language

your same kindness.

You are an alien amidst hating people.

You may be human, one day, when hate conquers all.
