This day will do <br />It is nothing special <br />The load is no different <br />No heavy or darker <br />Hopelessness neither <br />Increases or decreases <br />Indifference <br />Anger no more, nor less <br />Your eye on the prize <br />Too busy to pause <br />Career usurps Vocation <br />Exploiting the poor <br />For your thesis <br />Indifference <br />Your professional ladder <br />Rests on the back of the trapped <br />Cold wind of disengagement <br />Substitute for pastoral care <br />Too busy to listen, or pause <br />Ambition exposes apathy <br />Indifference <br />Listening will challenge <br />livelihood plans, or career <br />Lose your life, not you, no fear, <br />That would spoil your plan <br />Stop a while, if asked <br />Lend an ear, if conducive <br />Indifference <br />Safe within the disengaged <br />Enclosed by the self chosen <br />Conformed to the old mind <br />White washed walls <br />Reinforce the space <br />Of unfilled seats <br />Indifference <br />Pride in disguise <br />Conceals Micah’s words <br />Coldness the mark of Cain <br />Then tick the boxes, safe within <br />Your circle of friends <br />Your feigned Christ likeness <br />Reveals, Indifference.<br /><br />Adrian Wait<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/indifference-3/
