On The Lookout

Remember those days,
When empathy for another...
Was an action not premeditated?
It was understood at one time,
We were all human beings.

Today?
Feeling anything towards anyone else,
Makes one feel obligated to premeditate feelings.
Since today people are on the lookout,
For anything they can get at someone else's expense.
