an excess of compassion
leads one to believe
that the world can be
changed
that people can be
delivered
from whatever excesses
they chose to indulge in
that their deeply rooted
faults
can be ripped up by their
stems
and that someday good
fruit will be produced
that hands devoid of
resources
can reach for their own
bread
rather than looking for
handouts
an excess of compassion
is a dangerous vice
one that I choose not to
indulge in
Author's Note: this work
is satirical and meant to as a polemic against hardheartedness
towards those in need. Its intent is to invoke compassion rather than
discourage it.
