Sympathy
In all sincerity,
It is a pathetic pity.
I merely offer sympathy,
With such velocity.
This sadness born out of the blue,
That decides to levy itself on you.
In your fixed stillness,
I sense your illness.
Accept my sympathy;
You lost a pet,
Somebody made you upset.
Accept my sympathy;
You lost a friend,
Your broken heart is yet to mend.
Accept my sympathy;
You were once abused,
Possibly at times wrongly accused.
Accept my sympathy;
You marriage is on the rocks,
You got divorced, left without a buck.
Accept my sympathy;
You lost a fortune,
Your voice can’t sing a decent tune.
Accept my sympathy;
You lost in love or lost your job,
Or perhaps at one stage got robbed.
Accept my sympathy;
Your life is a mess,
Everything around you depresses.
Whatever the circumstances,
Accept my sympathy.
And if I happen to show no sympathy,
Please accept my sympathy!
