Sympathy

How sympathetic of you to be sympathetic

Why sympathize when you are never sympathized

If all you see is criticism

It is only right for you to criticize your next victim

They say one plus one equals two

But me plus you becomes Us

You see how I sympathized with your logic to gain trust

Sometimes Choice can change our course sympathetically

An old man that wakes to work faces a different challenge

So does me, you and them; to sympathize is to quantify

How weak to find it boastful to claim my “struggle” triumphs’ yours

We all have the same 24; my intentions were never for me to endure

We all have survived to live another day

Either ways, it should not matter your pain

Rather the journey, the experiences you overcame

Serve food for thought; the fruits of your labour

Life was never meant to be peaceful

Only you plus I could start up a peace coup

How sympathetic of me; such a wishful thinking

It is only right for me to be sympathetic, for this ship of ours is rapidly sinking
