Perfunctory
Perfunctory good will
It's a thing
I'm not sure if I'm
Empathic by nature
Or necessity
But a couple of times
Recently
I've done good things
In a perfunctory way
I don't like it
Preferably I jump into
Everything
With both feet
I do ponder the wider question
Of why do we do good things
And I like the answer
'Because we want to'
But who is better
The person who always does good
Because the good is done
Regardless of their emotional attachment
Or those that do good when the mood strikes
I think the answer is, this isn't a comparison exercise
Perfunctory thought processes
Are less poetic
