Criticism and Rating: Medium and... Pg-13 to Pg-16 if you really want to stretch it...
I put it here because I didn't know where else to, I guess it kinda fits...
Same ABAB CDCD format I've been using recently...


You say your disgust at this place
Runs through your bloodstream like poison,
And the sorrow around you is a disgrace.
I think the disgrace is your sense of reason.

The land around me seems to be dying,
The earth at my feet is stained with blood.
People in this land cannot stop crying,
And their tears flow like a roaring flood.

Am I wrong to feel this way?
Is it wrong to show them sympathy?
And why have all the others walked away,
Feeling only apathy?

I think you have lost your heart
Not to feel some urgency,
When all the while if your world fell apart
You know you, too, would plea for mercy.
