Forgive Them

Forgive them for their ignorance since ignorance is bliss What empathy is all about the point they seem to miss Their great lack in compassion does not seem a surprise Since not that many people know how to empathize With people who are doing it tough they do not wish to know Of the have nots of the poor streets of poverty and woe Cocooned in their self centredness they do not wish to hear Of the poverty that does exist even to where they live near Forgive them for their ignorance they cannot help the way they are They drive around the leafy Suburb showing off their brand new car To the material things of life they only can relate Only their own and their family successes they wish to celebrate Forgive them for their ignorance some people are that way And their type are growing in numbers that does seem sad to say.
