dear empathy,
how i touched you today
held your hand for a minute
and then went on ahead... walking my way

saw the old man, bloodied at the pant
the expression on his face... sound and brave
and quietly wiped his eyes
where his tears ran...

we shed a tear together today empathy
you,me and the wounded old man
just that our eyes dried up faster,
while his... his stifled a scream...

the anger raged in us today
when the old man's face was resigned
when he decided to walk back to his life
when his simple request to his small world
denied... reasons undefined

have said a prayer for you today too
as the train overhead passed me by
dear empathy, can't say i've been ignoring you
dear old man, its been many days since you walked away barefoot
even today... you remain invisible to the eye.
