Empathy's dead

Last week I read

A sign that said

"Empathy's dead"

And those words kept

Humming in my head

Could this be true?

Have we derailed this

Badly as a society?

I suppose we're at

A crossroads where

We can still change

For the better

Or maybe that's the kind

Of foolish stuff that

I like to believe
