Empathy

Enslave, rape and murder,
Words not for the wise.
To anyone who feels this pain,
Does the concept not apply?
Mother's pain is universal,
With the loss of any kid.
Just because they have no voice,
You're ok with what you did.
The confinement of a precious soul,
Of one who wants to live,
Robs them of their happiness,
And the freedom we can give.
Free from pain and suffering,
Free from fear of death.
They know more than we think they do,
Their plea is their last breath.
We take and take and all for what?
For a taste upon our tongue?
Remember the love of life we had,
When all of us were young.
The love of wonder, free from fear,
And pain and all the rest,
That we impose upon these souls,
And say we do our best.
To create a life and take a life,
To treat them fairly, just, humane,
All we do is ignore the fact,
That we create a world of pain. 
(Audere Musiche, Jan 2015)
