Apathy

We can only forget

for a little while

until it hurts

and we take our pain

in tears and pills,

we're too numb

and its hard to feel

when you don't care,

we give up too soon

as we become weaker

we starve for simplicity

in a tangle of ropes

and everyone

is pulling;

we need to be free;

the youth have open sores

that need healing;

let us out of the cage,

let us fly,

let our words

change the world.
