RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Heartless
The man who does not blink an eye
Inflicting pain upon another
The woman who breaks others’ hearts
She has never found her own
The lonely child without a conscience
Who will never understand
The one who takes pleasure in others’ misfortune
The doctor who experiments upon the helpless
The trigger man for the mob
The singer who strikes every note
But never sheds a tear
The assassin who hits his mark from
A thousand paces
The general who orders his soldiers into
A hopeless battle
The commander who goes to war
To satisfy his ego
There are doubtless those who have no heart
The eternal question is:
Were they born heartless or
Did they lose it somewhere along the way?
We must hope it is the latter
For then they might find it again
But you cannot find what has never been
