I feel sorry for the homeless man by the dumpster
He must get so cold during the winter
I feel sorry for the single mother with her two children
She must want the best for her kids but will never have the chance
I feel sorry for the starving child on the television
I wonder if he will understand why he has to be hungry
I feel sorry for the people who hurt others
Almost as badly as the people they mistreat
I feel sorry for those who live their lives only by God
Will they ever get the chance to live their own lives
I feel sorry for those chroniclers of the lives of celebrities
They would give their life to have that attention
I feel sorry for the narrow-minded bigot
Where will their place be when acceptance takes root
I feel sorry for the children pageant contestants
Mothers living through their child what they could never be
I feel sorry for those who judge others at first glance
Even though I do the same thing
I feel sorry for the suicidal
They can’t see what beauty is left in the world
I feel sorry for the unwanted old man
He never wanted to be a burden to his children
I feel sorry for the handicapped
Even if they don’t need our help
I feel sorry for the crying alcoholic
I hope they have good reasons
I feel sorry
But I don’t want anyone to feel sorry for me
