Best Indifference Poems

Through the silence of the years
Time tiptoes in each small story
Another morning wakes with gentle glory
Too quickly, pass the years, ...it is clear

Around me and everywhere I look
Time slips and slides, so close upon the slopes
With mists upon the distant hills....our hopes
Are dwindled down to...

Certain it is,
That her rejection, untold suffering upon   
Him, would bring
 
But

Her indifference,
Would be the one, his condemnation to 
Unhappiness to sign!

The Air of Indifference


Tree limbs grasped hungrily at idle air
hawks, with weary wings, shared calms despair,
sailors, deafened, by the muted swell
motionless the listless sails froze in heated hell.

Kites, stricken victims of inertial rule
denied the need for string, or child-held spool
aspire to go nesting in the...

When Silence And Indifference Hold Sway

When they came for the snake to take away
I gaily approved, had nothing to say.
Next the frog, croaking after bright sun sets
Again my cold-silence hedged all my bets.
Turtle taken hiding in his hard shell
Again I foolishly thought, what the hell!

Then...

I heard this on television
One-line of a narration
One-line so plain and simple
It filled me with expectation

The words quoted
I wish I had wrote
A-line that resonated
Bringing understanding and hope

I never thought Evil existed
I thought things
Were either Good or Bad
Evil I resisted

Then as I became older
Things started to...

With the venom
I've been dyed with
I become a stranger
Even to myself
Having lived too long
In a world of stones
The gentle spirit
That used to breathe
Inside me with soft consience
Seems missing
Prompted by bitter thoughts
Hissing out of cracks
On dark rocks around me
My heart no longer beats
Like it used to
Sweet...

[In High School, this took place].

The White Boy said (excuse my French), if I fall in love with V’lena, I would be a 
     buffoon.
     
V’lena stated if I denied my love for Butch, I would be...

Tis indifference that shameth the soul

for it casteth a burgeoning shadow of sorrow.

Shouldest not compassion stir the soul to move 

for such is the sacred sanction and the golden rule;

to love one another and seek thy brothers higher good.

 Answereth me now hath empathy averted...

Love
Ardent, boundless
Caring, empowering, promising,
Paroxysm, veridicality, Anhedonia, ephemeral 
Trivializing, evading, weakening,
Tristful, lorn
Indifference

What does it matter to me?
 If plastic clogs the roaring seas. 
All I want is convenience, 
A life of ease. 
Do you think I give a damn? 
If they poison our wells. 
And chainsaw scalpels,
 Erases nature's tender hand. 
I'm busy!
 To busy silver...

We all get to the point sometimes
not  knowing anymore,
with all the chaos in the world,
what cause we're fighting for.
Events can knock life sideways
and its easy to see,
how we can fall in to a trap
of growing apathy.
When disinterest in the world occurs
we become somewhat recluse,
thinking...

How can I sever wolf-waves from the selfish sea?
I ache to cut the rogue from the relentless flow
his crest swelled in high rise on testosterone tide
swindles my tease to tame his blue Neptune flame
mocking my sun dried bed with unruly despise
he rides a white steed...

Fireflies face extinction due to habitat loss, light pollution and
              pesticides. What have they done to deserve such callous fate?

Beneath Unknown Shores


                 Waves envelop the steel keel of a massive cruise liner
