| Apathetic Society So common now are things we see That no longer are we alarmed The more that we are exposed The less we notice the harm Excess of exposure seems to cause Less and less concern In the direction that society seems To want to twist and turn I recall when someone being shot In the light of day Was sure to cause a stir But, now we simply look and say " How terrible " as we look upon This body as it bleeds Then go on along our way And show little concern for what we've just seen How can a society that helps the entire world At home be so apathetic How can we tolerate the wrong that we see And detatch emotions from actions that are so pathetic Patrick Wayne Hollier Copyright 2000 Patrick Hollier |
