Hind Sight

Spoken Word; Hind Sight
See my face and take a number as you sit down as well
I can't decide what to do with this downed look upon my face,
Perhaps I shall take a peek into hell

You know that I feel the worlds pain and hold its weight upon my shoulders
Amazing that I can do this with broken wrists and a crushed back,
The ever loving Martyr that holds onto these emotional boulders

Can you tell how much my empathy goes out to everyone yet my dear??
As long as you can feel it then I am doing my job of which is never being paid,
This world and these people, even the ones who claim hate upon me are just in fear

Something you might not grasp is actually an important part you need to understand
For if you don't pay attention to this then it might make you weary of what I am stating,
My heart on my sleeve as the blood drips all over & I actually try to lift you up with my hand
 
This person I am is one of pure emotional life and not of rational thought
Just amongst the walking robots of these sadden days and nights,
You can not hand me that dollar as I am not the one who can be bought

Therefore I am human and a loving one no matter what has been done in sin
Actions might be things you do not like, but hating ME won't change the past
As our past is our hindsight & if you MUST, then hate the ACTIONS, not THEM.

"Therefore I am human and a loving one no matter what has been done in sin
Actions might be things you do not like, but hating ME won't change the past
As our past is our hindsight & if you MUST, then hate the ACTIONS, not THEM."
The poem is powerful and question many things. I rarely use hindsight. Sometime looking back can't help us in new and harder decisions. I like the description and the story in the poem. The ending was outstanding. We could have a long conversation over the last paragraph. A excellent poem.
