Theme
If we aren't willing to care for one another, we aren't going to be able to live together in this world.
Sight
Looking two times north and south (2)
Think twice before acting and decide if the effect is worth it.
His jacket say FRAGILE HANDLE WITH CARE(8-9)
Care for everyone, not just a select few.
A man crosses the street in rain(1)
This man is taking a chance to do the right thing even though he feels alone and the future looks grim.
Alliteration
He hears the hum(11)
Listen when people speak.
Two times(2)
Measure twice, cut once and always be double sure of your actions.
Dream deep(11-12)
If you don't dream about a better world, you can't make it happen.
Assonance
Stepping gently(2)
Be careful or you will upset the balance in the world.
Carries...cargo(6)
We all have the burden of caring to take on.
Ears...hears(10-11)
Listen to others ideas even if you don't like that person.
