Develop and Deploy Empathy - Calm.

Have you ever put yourself in another’s shoe?

Millions in prison, mothers too

Like if you don’t have healthcare drugs become it

And pills dig deep, rock bottom is a plummet

Addiction is more about environment

So before you judge be them and live it

Like a lot of homeless are actually employed

Affordable housing’s been destroyed

Teens get kicked out for being gay

Shelters reject them so where can they stay?

No suicide, save trans lives

If you’re judging gender move aside

The news will tell the truest lie

Read Morrison’s the Bluest Eye

Land of the free but millions in prison

No slavery except, the 13th Amendment

People cross borders to survive

How would you do to keep your family alive?

No human’s illegal, provide asylum

Here’s some empathy, you should try it

Think about ableism and the words you use?

Do you speak poison with the words you choose?

Where you at?

Can a wheelchair go?

Subtitle your videos

Vet came home with the war in his head

PTSD, sweating in bed

Panic attacks, mental health is real

We all ways to cope and deal

Pema Chödrön said it’s best to start where people are

Reflect on what you have so dialogue can start

You can’t have an orchestra if you don’t have a symphony

Everyone deserves a voice, develop and deploy empathy
