I hope this analogy represents humanity soon

Bitter apathy, Blinding interest, Blocking Passion, Binding my hands together, Bending my thoughts, Bifurcating my efforts into weaker strings of yarn, Seeking to cut them one by one, Apathy in it's own right is more driven then passion, Driving to end interest, To war with passion, To blatantly blend my mind into a pulp, Mashing it, Tenderizing it, Relaxing it... The Apathetic Man lies needless, Controlled, Happy and content with the boredom, And as he prepares to rest, One final time, He closes his eyes, And just at that moment he notices a flash of light, A small explosion of thought in the distance, A fracture in the ground, He feels a second of interest, Leaping out of bed, Snuffing the quivering candle as he flees his home, Frantically huffing and puffing, Sprinting with all his energy towards the interest, Hoping in his mind that apathy will not get there first, But he has the element of surprise, Apathy had not anticipated this... A sudden instantaneous development of a true and powerful passion, Deep inside him... Still sprinting he sees another flash, In another corner of the sky, Red and Black this time, Apathy is trying to trick him, But he will not be swayed, He is unstoppable now, A seed of life on a dead world, Growing, Spreading, Again another light flashes, Apathy is begging him now, Offering him protection from fear, But he is not afraid, He will make it.
