It Makes Me Sick

It makes me sick

How so many 

ignore all kinds of suffering 

Some knowingly integrate it

When by rights

we should truly hate it

Not many things

that we should hate

But stopping suffering is great

when the best option is

To prevent it

There’s no debate here

**

Without acceptable

moral standards

People actually plan it

Plan suffering of others

For their own convenience

*

Politicians

I’ll be honest

Your deception

Can not con us

Lives are destroyed

For luxury that you’ve led

While greed fills your head

It is your heart

that needs more care

And a better goal instead

It makes me sick

How so many

Some knowingly perpetuate it

When by rights

we should truly hate it

Not many things that we should

But suffering is never good

When there’s other options

To prevent it

There’s no debate here

Without decent moral standards

People actually plan it

Plan suffering of others

For their own enjoyment

*

Trophy hunters

I’ll be blunt here

Live action pictures

Are much more fun than

a soul destroyed

For a picture of the dead

That may fill your head

It is your heart

That needs more strength and

a better view instead

**

When I say the word “sick”

I think of an artist that it fit

When we get right down to it

We are all spread thin

Not hypocrites

It is the uncaring

And unaware that

Let suffering manifest

To ease it, slow it and stop it

We should always

work to do our best

Especially for the rest
