Apathist Words

The Apathist Words
By: Dahn Albert Gabriel Varney Jr

I got the test first
scored an F
and learned the lessons later.

So why's the fuss?
Maybe I'll get it right the next time,
I thought,until teacher X 
switched the test,but that's life.
 
I will walk through
 the posts of these doors,
I'll never turn back to look

but when I'm gone
 remember these words I said 
"experience causes men
 to be damn and its never so 
much of a teacher we though it be".

In my darkest days 
I've so much of him,
standing before me
 with his ever swinging baton,
directing the very rhythm
that drowned my soul.

Better days ahead?
Just show me the ray 
of light through a crack,
and I'll be a believer forever,
for that all I ask.
