Poem Title:
Poem
It seems to be a widespread trend these days, let’s have ‘compassion,’ countless people say, your empathy and feeling should rule all, “No one should suffer,” is the endless call. A child’s view of how the world should work, ignores how feeling ‘nice’ can break and hurt, forgetting what adults can plainly see: excess compassion leads to tragedy. You see it in families of the addict, thinking that their love alone does the trick, covering for souls now truly possessed with something that will alone can’t resist, how much pain will the addict’s actions cause? How much will the family excuse the lost? Excuse the madness the high person brings, chaos of actions they’re not expecting, violent mood swings, things stolen and sold, accidents and attacks, bodies left cold. Compassion was what made they stay their hand as they watched loved ones grow ever more damned, and when that compassion was all in vain that compassion becomes source of their pain, When a cooler min might predict this fate, compassion stays us, until it’s too late. You see it in youths who “love everyone,” set out with ideals quite utopian, believing mankind can all get along, that compassion can fix all that is wrong. Then you see online some girl, twenty-three, going abroad to “see humanity,” is found in a ditch, now murdered and raped, by people we all know nurse ancient hates, all because she thought, “If I show them love that will make it right, that will be enough.” You see it more when they somehow survive, come back looking broken and traumatized, cry, “I don’t get it, I don’t understand! I stood in solidarity with that man! I love all the people, their struggles and plight!” And her abusers just laugh at the sight, seeing that compassion has blinded her to the darker sides of human nature. You see it when people talk about ‘trans,’ those who enable, and act like its fans, they feel bad for people lost and confused, want to take action, have something to do. Then mutilation is pitched as a fix, compassions makes them go along with it, thinking it must happen, to “save their life,” regardless of the fact their brain ain’t right. Cheerlead operations that ruin health (Give immoral doctors a stream of wealth), but does this cutting drop suicide rates? No, it does not, most are still doomed by fate. Compassion pushed changes they can’t reverse, that’s reality, and it’s quite perverse... CONCLUDES IN PART II.
