Tears flood my eyes night and day.
Unceasingly , a crushing blow falls.
What more can I say.
Only that the voice still calls.

I go into the city.
I see people sick with hunger.
I call upon all my pity.
Can I show compassion for longer.

If you pass poverty by.
Should you just walk on the other side.
Shouldn’t you take action, not just sigh.
We are here to help, not just here for the ride.

Are we rejected altogether.
Or can we act all together.

…….

If tears flood our eyes
Passing on the other side
But is that enough

…….

See Jeremiah 14 : 17-22
