Deep Apathy Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

All through an Arizona afternoon, sitting alone, writing
in the middle of a parking lot, praying for God's help
for there's not a caring person in this world.

Vowing to live the rest of my life in isolation, sharing
nothing of what I am with anyone, feeling the deep apathy
coming from even loved ones.

Never asking for anything, living on sheer will power,
doing everything always on my own, depending on no one
because they're never around until they want something.

Such is life in this United States of America nowadays.
