Empathy for Man (Poem)

Written by Bennie Castle

May there be empathy for man.

How is it to know that which their creator has made hidden?

Empathy for man.

because what is revealed may sometimes seem obscure,

for good measures, of course, like a cure for the Godly ridden.

Fools.

Let there be no blemished or tainted souls, no, not one smitten past his realm.

with admittance into the gates of Paradise…

Let the wrenched turn inverted, sent to hell; good riddance!!

Empathy for Man and Sympathy for I, a Devil, disguised, and despised,

but despite all that,

a ‘fallen angel’ like their ugly, reared faces from out their putrid, torn spirits…

Lord, these creations owe more than they lost.

more than they could bargain.

Why he remains hardened, the True One, Lord.

Therefore…

Empathy for Man.

for they know not what they do until time escapes from them.

like smoke from fire; gone, into

nothingness.

[An epitaph between the realm of the living and the dead, and  what it read]
