There’s a man sleeping.
Dark circles shadow his eyes.
Hands are hardened,
Wonder when last he smiled.
There’s a child laughing,
Pulling his mothers short hair.
She’s not as amused
Yet no one notices her there
I’m just here sitting -
Silently watching these worlds
What would i do,
If i were in their shoes?
Why do I even care?
Someone is coughing
Into their arm i can see
No one offers a tissue
What happened to empathy?
Was it always like this?
All so callous and cold.
Faces pale and drained,
Dreams torn then tattered,
Waiting to grow old.
Someday...
Some-day and sometimes..
I add to the ignorance,
Pretend nothing’s around.
But, I can’t always be so blind
One day, the sleep shall awaken,
The depressed will smile.
A child will hug his mother,
A tissue offered will be sublime.
