How Can You?

How can you
sympathize
with tyrants?

How can you
feel nothing
for others,

families
with no food,
no healthcare,

those trying
to survive
while rich men

continue
to bleed us
for their gain?

How can you
not see how
wrong this is?

What if it
was you who
needed help?

I wonder
would that change
anything?
