Oh apathetic world

Unplug your deaf ears

Listen to me, I beg

Soften your hard hearts and allow them to breath

 

Oh apathetic world 

Let your heart become impassioned

Let your conscience disagree 

Feel the spark of inspiration flood your soul again

 

Oh apathetic world 

I pray that one word I dare to utter

Lights within you a frail heartbeat of passion

That one sentence I speak enrages you

 

Oh apathetic world

How ominous is the line you walk

Apathy is more dangerous than hatred 

Your meager satisfaction with normalcy is a mirage.

 

Oh apathetic world,

Dare to push the lines of conformity 

Wade through the lagoon of practicality 

For once in your sad lives, drink in zeal, every last drop.

 

Oh apathetic world,

I beg of you, feel any emotion 

that throws itself in your path.

Ride these waves of feeling, 

Grasp them with white knuckles.

 

Oh apathetic world, I beg you, do not stop caring.

For when you stop caring, the world will cease to have hope.
