This Day Of Apathy. Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

Your indifference has led to this day,
this day of Apathy.
And now you do not know what to say,
that is the reality.

You went along with everything they did,
even though you knew it was wrong.
Others have blown of the lid,
of their lies that they stringed along.

And now you do not care, the disinterest is clear.
Your empathy cannot be found.
You have lost it long ago,
but you stand your ground.

You make excuses for the way it is.
You are safe in your insular mind.
It is secure there, the comfort zone,
or for any past memories that you can find.

You see the misery of the streets,
the hopelessness that has accrued.
But you feel nothing anymore,
all feeling eludes.

Your indifference has led to this day,
this day of Apathy.
I pray one day you will awake
and have some empathy.
