We Cannot Feel Their Grief Poem by Francis Duggan

We Cannot Feel Their Grief



We cannot feel their grief or know of their mental pain
But from the lives of others some insights we can gain
And we should not judge others till we walk in their shoes
We cannot be good winners if with grace we cannot lose
If you do not have a God to which you kneel to for to pray
Then how can you practice what you preach the God fearing do say
Perhaps they may be right for many would say they are not wrong
Your words cannot hold much weight if to a group you don't belong
You may think you are great one of the superior kind
But your sense of self importance is all in your own mind
The depths of others pain is beyond us to recognize
But with what they have been going through is in us to empathize
'Tis easy to condemn far easier than it is to praise
And the hypocrisy of some never ceases to amaze.
