I'm Not Bitter

 What’s the point of sympathy?
Feeling bad for the stricken will far from change their circumstance.
Picketing against foreign experience
Won’t help its’ survivors sleep with even
One less nightmare.
Why should I give a ***?
Please don’t pretend like you do either.
Give a bum a dollar today,
And he’ll still be homeless and hungry tomorrow.
Knowing you won’t offer your bed
Or break your French bread with monsieur moneyless,
Just save your false philanthropy.
Sons without fathers.
Mothers without sons.
Sisters without brothers.
Can your crocodile tears make their murders undone?
Saying you’re sorry won’t grow back her hymen.
Or stop her from lurching upright in bed,
Screaming in a cold sweat.
Translate that misguided sympathy into self-pity.
Let victims heal without
Being humored pointlessly.
Don’t you dare tell me
It’ll all be ok.
