Apathy

Apathetic beauty pools, perfectly in scarlet spools;

stagnant, static, silent still. Sapping,

soft, the soul of

will."

 

 

Bye; Me.

 

 

It's easier if you do not care

(So please pay no attention).

Chains build the best of Apathy,

so feel no need to mention.

Or Strongly speak, or fight, or seek.

To further on your cause

It's best, for all, if you just fall

and for the present pause.

Just lay your down, put sleep your Sound,

Forget, relax, unwind.

You've done your most, so raise a toast

And easy your burdened mind.

Let go, let others fight the fight.

you've done So much, so far.

And how could any really Blame?

And why would you feel any shame?

If you should find yourself too lame?

and rest for just awhile

I'm sure what must be done will be,

Completed with no need of thee.

That just because you step aside,

the world will not itself De-ride.

There is no need for you to Care

To work or Wish or hope or dare.

There is no more that could be done,

with you Applied then were you gone.

The less you give (the more for you

The less you work) the less to do

Yes you could care but is there need?

For every effort? every deed?

Would not it better be for all

If all to better felt no call?

If better could be stored away

And kept for you some later day

So please pay no attention to

What pleas may come your way?

Let go, let obligation,

Live to bilk some other's day.

Life's short (so) as you make it

don't just squander as you go

For if they never have it

it's a loss they'll never

Know.

Keep all you can and when the then

at last

does dark your door.

I'm sure you'll harbor know regrets,

that you have all the more.

So do not care and do not dare

and do not think!

of others

For in the end you'll have no friend

and that's so far away

Enjoy the now; regard, less, how

and die with every day
