It appears to be about human relationships, and like most have said, focusing in on those less fortunate, though I think there is more to it than just that.
I think the entire theme is just that when you treat everyone else as less than human i.e. a disease, or a competition, or an opponent in a war, it leaks into everything ("you can't look upon your lady as a friend").
I love the part with the cop, because everyone is rooting for police to take lives off of the earth, just because we're scared. We're all so scared, and that is no way to live.
