Observer

~

I look but do not 

yearn to see

I see but make

sense of nought,

does my knowing 

change a thing 

my knowledge is

scant and futile, 

my rich empathy 

is poor nutrition 

my compassion 

not clean water,

what good is my

knowing other than 

to rob me of sleep

feeling helpless.
