Empathy For Your Sympathy
By elisa
alarming anger
breathing fire
curing the liar
smiling
with selfish desire
In Just US
For All!
peace through passion
not placid rations
avoiding compassion
practicing corporate empathy
lacking human sympathy
a cold killer
to the creative contributor
the conservative
thinker for the poor
the soul seller marketing insecure whore
a two faced race
spending company money
so liberal
the public stock
dropped through
The World Trade Center
floor
...who are the martyrs
or
armies of armor?
newspapers print
prophesied
fact
as victims of violence, fall
for religious wrath
given slight sighted vision
caged in isolated
rage
building blind folded tools
under the influence
of greed driven fools
the second millennium marks
another
Roman collapse
leaving a rolling wake
in a tidal wave
rippling worldwide quake
millions have suffered
for the sins of the masses
here, rhyme and reason
stand guilty for imprisoning freedom
the heirs of
murder and treason
slithering serpents
spume spinning hurricane reasons
with tornado twisting tongues
of unnatural disasters
bellied up billionaires
bracing quietly for rapture
reaping seeds sown
for
phasing out conscience
ruling as exemptions to responsibility
breeding blue collar bastards
sacrificing families to be
middle management masters
reigning with delusions of grandeur
given titles in need of leaders
not
privileged
degree
toting
competitive
cannibal creatures
the blind leading
with money in mind
and ignorance in mouth
demanding respect
at every wrong step
validating
the cancer weakened ego.
humble
pays for pride
substituting for substance
the
just are equal
living eye to eye with all
while
the dogs of war
sit tall above the street wall
making certain
someone else will fall.
