Man is sympathized by different things and pitied. Better than it sounds. |
He was crying in the moonlight Pitied by the stars Sympathizing with the moon Wishing up afar He was crying down on the earth Pitied by the trees Sympathizing with the grass Bent sadly on his knees He was crying down in the ocean Pitied by the waves Sympathizing with the tides And in so many ways He was crying on top of the mountain Pitied by the earth Sympathizing with the rock Trying to make it of its worth He sat crying in his home Pitied by the ghosts Sympathizing with the spirits And talking with his folks. He wept in the asylum Pitied by the nurses Sympathizing with the other patients Muttering obstruct curses. He weeps inside his cell Pitied by God himself Sympathizing with his own person And slowly forgetting himself. He weeps between Heaven and Hell Pitied by more angels Sympathizing with the pre-judged souls And cursing with the Devil. He finally praises with Heaven and the Lord Pitying the misfortune of others Sympathizing with his sisters Paying respects to parents and brothers. He finally looks upon earth but with a saddened gaze, saying “Earth, should I compare you to Hell—Let me count the ways” And so he made a prayer to the Lord To take the bitterness of the world away And he still requests it to this day. |
