I almost cried when I read this poem. It makes me so sad to hear that
people disregard others feelings sometimes for their own enjoyment.

This poem really got my thinking cap going. Many times people laugh,
carelessly handle the feelings of others, and react inappropriately to the
plight of other human beings. When this happens, I wonder if the "world"
is really paying attention to what is and can happen to our society -
especially to the disadvantaged.
