Indifference

The most dangerous action that exists
Is far worse than when violence persists

It’s not anger
Or hate
Or jealousy

It’s not obsession,
possession
Or being greedy…

It’s to continue joking
while learning
Someone lost their past

Looking the other way
While explosions of terror blast

Its having a shopping spree
When others are scraping their last

It’s a superficial brunch
Next to a death mass

To see suffering
And respond with nothing

To laugh and play dumb
To be emotionally numb

To be a witness and not testify
To be a bystander without rectify

Your unwillingness to move
To feel or to care, as you’re fed the facts

Is what makes these things
the most dangerous acts

If no one is responsible
to do what’s right

Means the wrong will win easy
without a fight

Indifference is the poison
that kills everything slowly

It’s the price to be paid
for choosing to live lowly.
