Indifference


Indifference is cold

Peppered with lack:

A look, a touch, a smile, an acknowledgement.

There is no passion

No want

No driving motion in any particular direction.

Just inertia:

A cesspool of stagnant thoughts,

Feelings

Actions.

The question I am unable to answer is the following:

Can you really just be indifferent,

Or is it something that grows on you?

If it grows on you,

Wouldn't that mean that you grow into lack;

That you grow towards death?

And if you are just indifferent,

Doesn't that mean that you live in lack?

That the death has settled within you?

And could it be,

That you can exit that world?

Travel from indifference to caring?

Can the current flow in that direction?

Is is a legend or has there been proof of its existence?

For once I have gone indifferent,

I cannot recollect ever having gone back to the land of the living;

Not with that thought,

Not with that thing.

Disinterest


Twould be a shame


In this crazy game


To lose interest now...


Who’s to blame?




The inane stumblings


Of drunken souls…


Forgotten goals


Ill-fitting roles.




Time passes and


Things fade away


Fall apart


Waiting for the day


When the new


Emerges


And purges


The scourges...




Upon awakening then


In a white-washed den


And all around are men


And you're the only hen...



The routine goes out the window


And every friend can hide a foe


So you come armed: arrow and bow


And hunting your own prey


Hang the status quo...




Interest...


Then,


Keeps.
