The erosion of empathy
You play hero I will play villain
though shades of grey exist and the truth not always willing
to rear it’s ugly head
filled with the expectation of being cancelled
and being heard
or Amber Heard
is different from being adept
or Johnny Depp.
we are divided down many lines and labels
and what we are being told merely a fable
when we can’t take it with a pinch of salt
and we halt
and can’t show a sign of empathy
How did life and judgement get so unjust
and all cards we hold are bust
because we no longer care just lust over celebrities
while our empathy is eroded and no treaty
or thought police AI can save us
from not understanding the people we see before us.
Christmas is cancelled
Tear down the tinsel
put the Christmas tree in the skip
rip down the rope lights
make the Christmas fairy take flight
Santa is in debt
his company in administration
so Christmas is cancelled
the kids will drive us to frustration
but this economy is to blame
so stop making your Christmas pud
let the turkeys run free
stop buying presents from Tesco express
and get the kids a cardboard box instead
let their imagination run wild
Christmas will always exist in the heart of a child.
