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
