On empathy

Once, I was given a dirty look
Next was a verbal lash
Asking for what it is
That tugs at my throat
For an abuse,
They imagined is not my concern .
Next ,I was given a query
For objecting to another being called names
A bloody fool ,
And I thought it was evil
To nickname anyone bloody
Brings out the red in my eyes .
Walked out of another job
Where humans are treated like horses
All bronze and no brains .
I die a thousand times
When others are mistreated
Misaligned, degraded, abused
The Sango in me declares war and judgement
And nothing else pacifies
