Selective Empathy

  A selective empathetic is a more sinister evil than the outright unempathetic. The unempathetic is quite small in numbers, and are under more scrutiny. The selective empathetic is one of reflective desire, picking and choosing those to be glad for and wishing to prosper based off of desired personal gain, gain that involves putting others down in the process. This level of empathy is pure submission to outside preachers, outside systems, media, literature, art, and economics, and represents a dark and fallible inner sense. Letting things simply happen, apathetic to their greater truth, nihilistic in meaning, and a walking product of guiding forces around them. A pure empathetic is empathetic to all in all situations, noticing the humanity in all. It is sad to notice the selective empathetic being a prevalent and lauded endeavor, when the qualities of such selective empathetic are thought of also as manipulation. A great contradiction in social morality and personal character judgeme

The Slave.

There he stands His eyes bellowing a sparkle of hope The end of a tunnel once came Wanting the pain to end. Progress led him to believe his life finished. He approached the pale man with a pen and paper The parchment wet and ink faded The pale man read his article seemingly interested The man's last words before death.

Her life alone in the wells of the deep, The maiden couldn't find confidence She looked far and wide to help those in need Her lust was for commonness. The Voyager, a brash individual Lead by example, and with anger His past held his life He lived surrounded by danger. Stress plagued their minds in the ballroom.

The Bastion and the Widow

The sun circles around all lovers through the days of their lives. The life cycle ends and begins, the gravity weighing their time. Passions persuaded ambition in their lives. Their presence so fleeting, perhaps real happiness wouldn't stay. The work of the wicked brought forth pain The work of the wise wouldn't stop pain The death of the thrusted love fly in the ether There lived a bastion, praying the days away for truth. The bastion brought his head up, His eyes fluidly scanning space. He realized the world for what it was, Noticing its understatement, Visualizing proxy love. A widow was in search for meaning. She stumbled into a pumpkin patch where the bastion stand. The bastion was there, so ignorantly wise, and so beautiful. Astronomy lived with the widow's mind She gently gave him a kiss. Their love for seconds. Seconds recomposed minutes. The minutes were gone. As the bastion looked
