Pity
©James A Daulton 2008

You cry to the dead man about the pains of your life
You cry to the survivor about the sorrows of strife
You cry to the wound about the danger of the knife
You cry to the lost about your lack of direction
You cry to the blind about your sense of dimension
You cry to the failure about your need for perfection
You cry to the broken heart about the pain you are feeling
You cry to the cheated about your unfair dealings
You cry to the victim about your fear of stealing
You cry to the savior about the manner of his actions
You cry to the depressed about your level of satisfaction
You cry to the incapacitated about your slow reactions
You cry to the one you need about how you are needy
You cry to the bled out about how you are bleeding
You cry to the sure one about their lack of believing
You cry to the poor man about all of your wealth
You cry to the dying man about your health
And they all pity you as much as they do everyone else
