Path To Dehumanization

Path To Dehumanization Indifference being the height of inhumanity Brings us to the loathsome solo sounds of children In tears with fear and fleeing foreign lands to nowhere People thinking, that’s not me. It’s a TV show There’s nothing I can do So moving on Desensitized, we watch the news in silent isolation So much violence becomes the common place Numbed by too much information, we become complacent Displaced children and humanity is not our job Being human is a full time occupation No one said life would be easy We live a life but not one worth living for What was once our reason to feel alive Is now detachment, compromised, hanging in the void If being a rock or stone was vogue Replacing feelings We could move to that location, that environment to feed the cold It’s so easy to fit that mold While children feed their hunger with silent tears Soulless, waiting for a touch, and feel of peace No hope, no soup, no refuge and no you Empty is the void if you can’t feel Indifference is the height of inhumanity That fills in the holes of history, hungry, looking for some empathy
