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.
