feelings
about you
about me
about them,
voicing concern
for
not you
only them
only me,
right?
personal regret
secrets quietly revealed
words slammed together
blaming 'selves:
not your
not my
just their,
right?
addresses randomly pointed
towards eyes who were
caring
empathetic
fearful
of
who i am
how i feel
when i feel
where i feel,
right?
my voices are concerned
screaming fruitless antiwar slogans
ripped in two by personal devastation
shouting against molestor's explosions
falling
upon
unconcerned deaf
ears
eyes
never witness to murder
godlessness
soul-stealing,
right?
them@world.com read the
cry claiming no
accusation
finger pointing
oh! despairing world gone awry!
emails read
in
red madness
hiding
behind
sickeningly forced poems
concerning nothing
except
a severe concern for your feelings.
