The Invasion Of Apathy Poem by RONY PATRA

The streets of brick and asphalt are suddenly painted red
And littered with innocent civilians, who are now dead
These people were drops in humanity's sea, always on the go
But Fate and ammonium nitrate conspired to deal them a cruel blow

The explosions in multiple places took everyone by surprise
And it's unknown victims had to pay a heavy price
For the actions of some people, who pursue propaganda with zeal
Without pausing to think how the kin of the dead would feel

The injured, with their scars, still battle for their lives
And certain religious zealots instantly brandish their knives
Spreading death, distress and destruction all around
In mutilated carcasses, the streets further abound

But those who view these incidents as spectators
Show little concern, as do self-styled 'political commentators'
Allegations and counter-allegations are traded, thick and fast
With ferocity and precision that would leave even animals aghast

And the common man? He continues as before
Unmindful and exhibiting apathy, he does his daily chore
Without realising that he could be part of a future, deadly jamboree
Without realising that in a few moments, he could be grotesque history
