Compassion is Dead

Compassion is Dead

A Poem by Donald
"

Right now I have contempt for the world at large. Do the words Compassion, Faith, Hope or Love still have any meaning or are they just words to be used and thrown away.

"

Compassion is dead,

It died a quiet death.

Amidst the uncaring and unfeeling people.

No one loves and gives a hand to lend to another in distress.

They just walk on by and feeling nothing in their black and empty heart.

Perhaps kick it once in a while to make sure it has met its fate.

What of life.

It too is in danger,

for without compassion to drive them forward,

life is at a standstill.

Unable to move or feel alive once again.

It too is on the edge.

Pay it forward is what they say.

But they mean is payback for the misdeeds of another.

To hide those who truly care.

To kill any passion that still exist.

Deny what will save them from themselves.

God helps those who help themselves,

but is this what he met.

Or he truly say,

God helps those who help others.

See what happens by changing one mere word can do.

The righteous state what they believe.

The rich state lies to get want they want. 

What is truth and what is a lie.

The true means is in a gray area,

somewhere in between,

It lies between the indifferent and the uncaring.

The indifferent don’t believe the truth and the uncaring don’t care about the truth.

Somewhere out in the world is a true believer,

trying to spread the word.

In a world of unbelievers.

But still he tries.

The world does feel like it is becoming, more and more uncaring, it’s a case of doing as little as you can, for as much as you can get… stand in line follow the rule and don’t ask questions. :(
