Do you understand the pain you cause, <br />do you really care, <br />can you justify your actions when <br />you calculate what’s fair. <br />Do you bury any feeling, <br />dismiss empathy, <br />stay shielded from emotion, <br />from base humanity, <br />Or does this new addiction <br />transcend and set you free, <br />numb and dull your senses <br />to escape from what you see. <br />You’ve got to feel the hurt you cause, <br />you’ve got to have some feeling, <br />and balance up the pros and cons <br />throughout your daily dealing. <br />Or maybe I have got it wrong, <br />you’re hard and cold and deep, <br />for should I cause distress like you <br />I’m sure I’d never sleep.<br /><br />chris dawson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/troubled-child/
