Apathy

Tell me what’s in your head

The songs of Greed and Rage

When the children you love end dead

And you wither of old age.


Tell me what you say

When those who warn of death

Blind you, and decay

Your wallet and your breath.


Tell me how you feel

When the whole world falls apart

When politicians break The Seal

And we’re brought back to the start.


Tell me why you recline

In a world so wrought with fear.

Our lives are in decline

And death so very near.


Tell me why you didn’t care

When people slowly died.

While you judge from your armchair,

At least I say… I tried.
