 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Compassion



 



I’ll no longer dredge through the history books



so see what the future may hold..?



I’ll finally accept every wrong turn I’ve taken



and every deed that has left me this cold.



My life is a question unanswered



though my faults can be listed by all



Compassion it seems has been left off the menu



those that I loved most... never called.



To be discarded so easily is heartbreaking



would they help an injured animal on the road?



as their very own blood cried out in anguish



their disappointment is all they would show?



I too am disappointed... in their reactions



they show no compassion for me as their dad



Their minds have been washed clean of all the good things we dreamed



and turned everything that was good into bad!?
