I watch them
these people in my life
i see them struggle
as they creatively lie
I watch these people
as their hearts numb
corrupted by anger
shattered by shame
I watch these people
as they bottle up hope
while they try to create
a glitter of hope
As I watch these people
I try my level best
To never give false hope
Makes you wonder how much we watch and look away from in this world!

I have a feeling in whom you are writing about Burton. I like the message your poem is trying to convey.
