The Scales of Care

There are some that care for themselves.
There are some that care for their immediate family more than for their own life.
There are some that care for friends more than for their own life.
There are some that care for strangers more than for their own life.
Yes, there are some that would give everything including their life for a stranger.
Where do you and your life equal the weight on this scale?
Where is the belief in something greater than we can ever see or hear?
When will we ever begin to learn?
How little we know,
How little we care,
Except for the few who care enough to sacrifice everything they know.
This song is for them.
