Apathy

Apathy

My name is Apathy;
I have eyes, but I don’t see,
I have ears, but they don’t hear,
I have lips, but I don’t speak.

My name is Apathy;
Indifference is my brother,
Insensitive is my sister,
Concern is my enemy,
And so is Sympathy,
Empathy and the rest of their family

My name is Apathy;
When I see pain and suffering, I look away
When I hear cries and moans, I cover my ears
I do not want to look,
I do not want to take part,
I live in my own world.
I live for myself,
I serve for my happiness

My eyes are covered with roses
My ears only hears the sound of music
My lips were made to be zipped

Is the world suffering?
I didn’t know.
What of death, war, and poverty?
I have no idea.

The cries of a million hungry souls,
I do not hear.
The tears of a million broken hearts,
I do not see.

I do not see.
I do not hear.
I do not feel.

I am Apathy,
And you are my friend.
