Just found this while backing up my external harddrive for the first time since seeing Avatar. Figured I'd share...I call this
The Na'vi, Like Me
I see it when tears fall from the eyes of strangers
People known to them with scripted comfort
Their sobs embraced with shoulders
Leaning upon love as if to share, lessen the load
When people understand one another I get confused
Do they know, I mean really know?
Or is it just a test, passed only by thespians
Those capable of feigning intentions, sentiment
Rooted in an ability to relate
Yet what is akin to what you’re feeling?
Something sort of kind of like that one time
I know exactly what you’re going through
There are people able to play that role
To tell the truth, I am seldom of that crowd
Choosing to watch with my 3-D glasses
Unwilling to become an Avatar to empathize
In a world with two dimensions of humans
Actors and directors, respectively speaking
My feelings are those of the blue people
Unwilling to adapt to your desires without force
