Sympathy Empathy Apathy Antipathy

I’ve not thought any one of them The Best As to ask the seeker to on it rest, And have neither any reckoned The Worst At getting the recipient for a burst: Of Sympathy and Nicer Empathy Apathy and Antipathy… Sympathy we would show on a pavement And easily continue stopped movement; Empathy warns you of Rare Sacrifice: In future ‘A give-back that should suffice’, Apathy fails not to The Needy pierce, Even as nothing about it is fierce: Requests for response to a thing steady And the much sought feedback never ready, Antipathy: That on the door your knock A facsimile of hitting a block… Yet note thee: Sky never The Resplendent To whomever is A Rash Dependent.
