Malign

Accidental empathy turns events nefariously,
Balancing on the fringe precariously.
Scarce perception for corporeality at hand or beyond,
Moments of clarity neglected too long.
To justify indifference, apathy, or malice,
The numb and oblivious sow seeds of the doubting callous.
Negotiating their toxic essence into a sinuous answer, 
Regardless to propagating a pestilent cancer.
