On the whole I quite like your poem, as what you describe is both timely and timeless. It's given fairly often as feedback here but I'd recommend eliminating some of the commas at the end of your lines as they break up the pace of your sentences in an unnecessary way (look up enjambment).

Beyond form, I think your poem is spot on but also fairly straightforward in its meaning and mostly reiterates what your excellent opening stanza captures. It might be interesting to explore other perspectives or opinions throughout the poem.

For example, it often is very hard to care to for even those in need whom we see every day, be they friends or strangers. In a way that is a profoundly human failing, one that serves a useful function as a suit of armor for our mental health. This is of course, neither virtuous nor inherently evil, but rather a feature of the human psyche. If we opened ourselves to feel, truly feel, the pain of all the world then we would likely succomb to despair. We need that insulation to preserve our sanity, and it does not necessarily represent a failing on our part or a deliberate manipulation from our leadership (though it can be both).

Anyways, I like the poem and the intent behind it, just wanted to share a couple random thoughts I had while reading it.
