Call

There will be 
a reckoning and
when that trumpet 
sounds will you 
be on the side
of those who 
listened with empathy 
or will you 
remain selfishly deaf
to another’s misery 
for only the 
ears of kindness 
will ever be 
able to hear
the horns call
I pray for 
your cold souls 
for your eternal 
despair will go 
silent and unanswered 
just as the 
wails of those 
whom you ignored 
in the name 
of your money
