for what purpose,

if i may ask,

suggestions of compassion?

 

would it not be more genuine,

to pass the superficial statements of solidarity through a filter of truth?

remove the assumed perception of empathy –

from the diatribes they conceal?

 

i for one would much rather face a wolf –

understand the opposition –

than mingle with imagined sheep and become victim to defamation by deceit…

 

confused?

how so?

surely you realize,

even the perfection of your make-up can’t hide the truth

when standing alone –

outside –

(animal) in the rain.
