Empathy? By Brian37 (Now Jackie Leigh) (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @brianrrs37 on Twitter/X)

To those who deserve it
I will certainly will return it
I won’t seek revenge
Just our connection will end

If you call Martin Luther King
“An awful man”
If you seek to purge
The innocent off our land

If you take away
The health care of many
If the school lunch budget
Is gutted and empty

If you incite
A mob to build
A hangman’s platform
On Capital Hill

If you want women
Living in the Hands Maid’s tale
If you spew hate that echos well
If you wish me to burn in hell

Don’t claim you are good
You are a fraud
You are a bully
Not to applaud

You get what you give
If you don’t want me to live
Then why should I give
One fuck about you?
