Different Worlds
They think you're crazy.
They call you lazy.
Judgements placed,
Though never to your face.
Fake smiles from crocodiles.
Apathetic to their denial.
But now it's clear to me,
How this all came to be.
From a place void of empathy.
Where forgiveness is your apology
And love is shown monetarily.
Keep your notions pre-conceived.
Choke on the words you speak of me.
I'll revel in this irony,
Existing hypothetically.
Here's the truth you cannot see...
If affection became currency
And emotions were our charity,
I'd be richer than you
And you'd be as poor as me.
They call you lazy.
Judgements placed,
Though never to your face.
Fake smiles from crocodiles.
Apathetic to their denial.
But now it's clear to me,
How this all came to be.
From a place void of empathy.
Where forgiveness is your apology
And love is shown monetarily.
Keep your notions pre-conceived.
Choke on the words you speak of me.
I'll revel in this irony,
Existing hypothetically.
Here's the truth you cannot see...
If affection became currency
And emotions were our charity,
I'd be richer than you
And you'd be as poor as me.

Well then, shall we indulge?
Once upon a time I met a girl. As time passed I started to notice that we were not only from different worlds. We were from different universes. Her family judged and gossiped, insulted and looked down on me. All without ever taking the time to actually get to know or understand me. They coming from a land where materialism was law. I coming from a land where love and empathy rules. So I wrote this poem to vent my true story. I'm turning it into a song, which my band will record...and they will get the first copies.lol
