Temporary Apathy
As social political apathy begins to set in,
Truth becomes the enemy,
And lies become the bullets
Of the corrupted firing squad.
When immorality replaces decency,
Weak men become strong
Strong men become weak,
And the sturdiest of Oaks
Are splintered into firewood.
Apathy appears to be dangerous
For any civilization.
As the disappearance of reason
Is only silenced by ignorant ranting.
Stubborn, autocratic personalities,
Only an arrow point atop a straw shaft.
Never truly penetrating what's good,
But poking enough to be felt.
In a world
where everything is only temporary,
Even frustration will be,
For the most reasonable minded.
This apathy also will be shortlived.
Out of the chaos comes order,
But, how much longer until ?
