Simply
Simply
If indifference was a virtue
As some claim it to be
Then why doesn’t it serve humanity?
Indifference, unlike love
Is like a plastic plant
Standing perky
Although not growing
Neither roots nor leaves
Let alone fruit
And some fooled by its appearance
Will even want to water it
But the water will do no good
For it will not be allowed to do so
Those that promote indifference
Are haters of self
Because in order for humanity to thrive
We have to be interdependent
Respecting and advocating
The well-being of all
Otherwise, life is simply living
Without any essence
Without any purpose
Simply fake.
