eating granola
between taps on the keys
poetry can't wait
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

the circles are all 3D
but I can't find my special glasses
everything looks fuzzy
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

my vision must be biased
what man can claim objectivity
without a grin
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

cheshire teeth bite
as they smile
take a piece of the truth
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

my mind is circular
my tail touching my head
I am infinity
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

I spin like a barrel stave
over and over in the dirt road
a boy with a stick
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

wanting to talk soon
waiting as a parent should
for your voice to call

unconditional love
has its blanket of quiet sadness
as it has its spread of joy
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

uncover my eyes
pry these old fingers away
break them if necessary
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

deep inside the I
is a wee voice that wants to be heard
the collective consciousness
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

saw an old friend yesterday
looking fit as a fiddle
so I rosined up the bow
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

we probably want the same thing
but decades of scarring
make it difficult to see new skin
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

always stumble
the right words are rarely
what I feel deep inside
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism

hear my confession
I must let the pain dissipate
see the mist rising over the lake
the death of empathy is the birth of barbarism
