Urgent is the will, The self is as still as the night; Apathy controlling; Urgency calling, The will remains imprisoned; And apathy, keyless; Urgency calling, Apathy, shedding useless tears; Fear controlling action:- Genesis begins all, Revelation ends it all; Life dwells in between:- Apathy is like a cold stone Nestling in the mud; Decision, like a swing in the wind; Action roars like a lion, And races like a waterfall Roaring...
