Exploit Empathy

If empathy was a decision and you could turn it off, you be a ruthless sod instead of being soft, you won’t decide or choose but something will wear off, when suddenly a side of you does rise and takes the shot In time people who exploit your empathy will learn that when you figure them out you will act without concern playing them at games they play but playing them pure evil You’re still the empathetic one but now you’re also lethal You will do them harm the sort you try to fix Consider it an added charm you’re wise now to their tricks Manipulate empathy Evil will be born Angels acting gently Or maybe Satan spawn The power to decide Genuine or lies Empathy can choose To be nasty or nice Manipulative people never have a choice they are very simple and easily destroyed
