Bridging the Divide

In summer's blaze, a story weaves

Of contrasting lives, as time heaves.

Where scorching heat engulfs the street,

Two worlds collide, where fates compete.

Upon the road, some souls are found,

Struggling, toiling, without resound.

Their brows bear sweat, their backs bowed low,

Seeking solace where shadows grow.

With weary steps, they march each day,

Under the sun's relentless sway.

Their hands, calloused, bear the weight,

Of dreams unmet, and fate's cruel state.

Yet, just beyond, in contrast stark,

The privileged bask in leisure's arc.

Within cooled air, they find their ease,

Shielded from life's harsh degrees.

For in these hues of life's extremes,

The seeds of empathy, it surely teems.

Let's bridge the gap, embrace the strife,

Extend a hand, share a touch of life.

For those who struggle 'neath the sun's bright flare,

Let's lend our strength, show them we care.

In the realm of cool and comfort's sphere,

Let empathy blossom, compassion appear.

If we unite, we can bridge the divide,

Bring warmth to hearts, and hope provide.

Let's strive for a world where all may find,

Shelter and solace, intertwined.

A summer where lives, in unity, blend,

With compassion as our guiding friend
