A Voice of Apathy.


The faint sound of help 
To a fearful cry.
A loud voice of apathy
That calms inside

It arouses naught but anger,
Naught but despair,
To see a fellow human
Cast aside without a care.

A broken arm? A shattered spine?
"Where will it stop?" I ask.
It's not okay, it's not alright,
To just let it pass.

It's not cool to walk away
OR be the cause of fear
It's not wise to stand aside
And exclaim, "Oh Dear!"

When will we rise to stand together,
Against the hate and harm?
Will our children solely grow
To count on shooting stars?

Soar.

Flying high you fall.
Everyone stands tall
You cry as the wind carries you
Your mind wanders. It falters.

What you try to say, no one knows
One hears every need in your heart
You call out for help
He answers

Things are wild. And yet you are calm
Heaven helps you in the turmoil
Life swims around you.
You remain standing. For He holds you in His palm

Life is not explicable.
Everything need not make sense
But for every need you call to Him.
Awaken. Embrace it.

Eloquent words may get you somewhere.
Intricate skill, somewhere else.
Time will fly, it will leave you behind.
But you will soar with Him.
