Ode to Kassidy

tragedy only i can see
the world, dying in front of me

Other People Donā€™t Care
ā€œWhy Do You Feel Sorrow?”
They Say,
ā€œThat’s For Those People, Over There,
Far Away,
There’s Nothing We Can Do
But Pray,
It’s An Issue For Tomorrow,
Not Today.ā€

if They would only see,
They could share my burden;
“We should change Our way,”
We would All agree,
of this Iā€™m Certain.

… and i wouldn’t feel…

small

but this ordeal i cannot share
eyes peeled, i stare,
i can’t
ā€”i won’tā€”
unsee.

insight is tragedy
