Because I've Nothing Else Here For You
People asking to give.
People asking to help.
Have I no compassion?
Where is my soul?
I understand there is hatred.
Why are they asking me?
I cannot save the world.
I'm a modest lawyer.
I earn a living and save my money.
I promise I've contemplated the issue.
I do not know where
the tangible meets the intangible.
So, leave me alone.
Yet, I am besieged some more
with issues of the spirit.
I stare vacant feeling nothing
at the issue
because
I've nothing else here.
Requests to help turn
my otherwise soft self
to a hard rock of petulance.
I discover I don't understand the issue.
And I am peevish.
People asking to help.
Have I no compassion?
Where is my soul?
I understand there is hatred.
Why are they asking me?
I cannot save the world.
I'm a modest lawyer.
I earn a living and save my money.
I promise I've contemplated the issue.
I do not know where
the tangible meets the intangible.
So, leave me alone.
Yet, I am besieged some more
with issues of the spirit.
I stare vacant feeling nothing
at the issue
because
I've nothing else here.
Requests to help turn
my otherwise soft self
to a hard rock of petulance.
I discover I don't understand the issue.
And I am peevish.
