Fallen nature greets
Towards the beautiful life

An Apathetic Realm

To dwell in an apathetic realm between darkness and light,
not caring if people hear or listen to me, would be a plight.
Being stoical, taciturn and indifferent to pain or pleasure,
when emotions are unsung for there are none to measure.

Being aloof could never be my long-term objective.
I'm not passive about things, but it's a stoic's perspective,

The Apathetic Generalisation

why do we not hate our self more
a nudge of a beaker taken out of the fridge
its a big red button
we call it switch

my train - of-thinks

i'm just trying not to be me

Similes For An Apathetic Perspective

the words sting on the way down
burn my throat 
like tequila without a chaser
and slosh in the belly of my soul

"I don't want you anymore"

awaken the dull ache
salt the wound that never heals
but like rain on a cloudy day
it's a familiar feeling

Apathetic Rectum

A few rich dudes
are overlords to 6 billion people
like lion tamers controlling
500 pounds of slash with a whip and a stick-
but what if all the lions got together and 
and snapped the stick and silenced the whip
with a quick bite to their rich dudes necks
ripped out their silver spoon tongues
what if the masses just shut

And He Cried

In front of impending disaster

He stood there

Right beside the operation theater

Watching his parents

Going mad with pain

A thousand thoughts were flowing in his mind

What would happen if his brother couldn’t survive

The doors get opened

What he feared the most just happened

His mother unconscious

His father lying on floor, crying like a baby

His heart was erupting with pain

But he

Apathetic Apology

Creators of thought silent
Palette dry the canvas blank
Condemn believer protect the lie
Rally symbol muster the cause
Search mirror the past reflect

Pride Vs Apathy

Apathetic Dusty Shelves

Apocryphal embellishments of

a non-canonical secret society,

teeming amidst a dubious 

enterprising authenticity, 

exposure's excessed stormy decay of 

  tormented poet's crushing blows,

ego's wild oats fruitlessly sown

rampaged rush to save their own flesh,

poesy's wildflower blooms wilted

under acid rein's torridity of seduction,

hence poetry's infertile demise unto 

dusty shelves' apathetic surrender

Apathetic To Your Positivity

Apathetic to your positivity.


We keep on running, because we can’t stand still.
We keep on climbing, because we have got to get up the hill.
We keep on searching for a better thrill.
We are humans and we strive to advance, using all of our will.


Forward we march, dragging the weaker man with us.
Onward we go, for the

Apathetic

Bleached shells catch the sun
and throw it back again,
pearled cup-hearts smoothly clean,
long ago picked bare,
the forgotten feasts of ghost birds.

Waves lick forlorn sands
but cannot coax those dispassionate shells
to frolic in the happy surf;
empty, they choose the dry beach
just out of reach of happiness.

More Than Machines

Face to face they stand
Brain to brain
Two-eyed flesh machine
And one-eyed plastic terminal
Interacting systems
Inputting, outputting, precious data.

Face to face they sit
A complex team
Driven to perform
With error-free precision
In a controlled mini-world
Ruled by instant communication.

Face to face they lie
Worlds apart
Stark, cold plastic eye
Flashing programmed data;
Warm, sentimental flesh eyes
Flashing non-programmable twinkles.

Face to face they act
Separate and alone-
Ruled by the

Apathetic Sympathizer

got an apathetic sympathizer
sizin’ up the scene
s/he’s been lecturin’ on the circuit
s/he’s been weighin’ on the brain
s/he’s been speakin’ like s/he’s
been alive, a hundred thousand
years,
like there’s wisdom bleedin’ out
her/his nose &
dripping out his/her ears---
s/he’s the type of hypocrite who’ll
do exactly what’s s/he’s told (then
complain that it don’t work)---
drown all her/his sorrows in a bottle
then shove

Apathetic

And she smiles in my face
But if I say nothing, she is without a trace
She's always on my mind but she doesn't seem to care
A one way love can never be fair
For while the recipient feels apathetic
The lover can only be pathetic
Wallowing in his lowly fantasy
Dreaming of a distant future of serenity
Living an empty world,

Young and Apathetic

making fun of an
apathetic young
man, slightly older
than me
i reminded me
somewhat of myself
and i chose not to care
being unconcerned,
reminding me again 
of that young
apathetic man
