Apathy

Apathy The smell of death is in the air Violence and destruction loom everywhere The earth quakes with fire and fear Why don’t I care? Power and greed corrupt the spirit Those who rule,enslave the mind People rush like they are running out of time Why don’t I care? Freedom and justice are dead everywhere Our rights are suspended and tossed in the air Prisons become homes for the forgotten Humanity has become totality rotten Why don’t I care? They come for us one by one, in the dead of the night No more to be seen, no longer to fight Now the hour is late, and no voice matters I did not care Rev. Andy 2005
