Exceptional a minute poem about compassion The Minute Poem : Deaf Ears by adewpearl

Propped up against a padlocked door, the paltry poor -- we walk in haste past human waste. They sleep in parks and alleyways, these castaways -- we pass them by with downcast eye. Their pleas we've chosen to ignore -- how long before our own worst fears fall on deaf ears? Recognized Author Notes I do not often quote the Bible, but when I do, you can trust it means something to me: "He who gives to the poor will not want, but he who hides his eyes will get many a curse." Proverbs 28:27 "He who closes his ear to the cry of the poor will himself cry out and not be heard." Proverbs 21:13
