In the heart of bustling cities, shadows loom,
Voices drowned in the clamor of progress,
Dreams flicker like candles in the gloom,
Yearning for justice, for hope to address.

Children wander through alleys of despair,
Innocence traded for survival’s cold breath,
Yet in their eyes, resilience is laid bare,
A spark that defies the whispers of death.

Elders sit by windows, stories untold,
Wisdom silenced by the roar of the street,
Hands that built empires, now frail and cold,
Waiting for kindness, for hearts to meet.

Amidst the noise, a call for unity rings,
A symphony of voices, diverse and bold,
Together we rise on empathy’s wings,
In the tapestry of change, stories unfold.
