A situation seen to be removed from feeling

Is an interpretation of another's way of peeling

Themselves away from mundane matters of life

Which many dwell on to cause them more strife



Observers can look from outside at all confusion

Then process them without any kind of delusion

A state of mind which is then interpreted by some

As being detached and without deep feeling, none



Of which happens to be the case with this writer

As feelings alone cause the words to be mightier

With an imbued richness delivered out of passion

Which surges thru veins in a quite steady fashion 



Love of humanity stirs these common emotions

To simmer and then cook to boil as the potion

Stews in a saucepan much too small for it all

Then overflows to expansion, and then cools
