There goes another vagrant soul,
Wondering what will make them whole,
The truth be told,
They will never break the mold,
They are doomed to walk this earth in pain,
Ever pondering their disdain,
Haha it's not a shame that they are all the same,
Because they all carry a friend on their shoulder called Mr. Apathy,


Mr. Apathy wants you to think about dying,
He wants your mind to give up trying,
He wants you to love your crying,
He wants you to keep on lying,


Mr. Apathy is here to stay,
It doesn't matter who prays,
Their souls are going to be tortured for the rest of their doomed days,
It's Mr. Apathy's job to make them think about what everyone says,


Mr. Apathy is here to stay,
It doesn't matter how many people pray,
Because you're going to die one day,
And your soul will belong to Mr. Apathy and it don't matter how much money
you pay,
He will make sure people forget what you say,


He comes to kill and destroy their life,
Because he loves stirring up strife,
Why?
There is no why you fool,
Because life only has one rule,
And that's keep on dying and trying to understand life in vain,
You existence will eventually wane,
And Mr. Apathy will be the same,
Because Life is really Mr. Apathy's name.

Mr. Apathy wants you to think about dying,
He wants your mind to give up trying,
He wants you to love your crying,
He wants you to keep on lying,
********************************
Well, if he were really apathetic he would not care
whether you cried, lied, died
or not...

right?
a good write, enjoyed the pondering

WELCOME!

Mr. Apathy wants you to think about dying,
He wants your mind to give up trying,
He wants you to love your crying,
He wants you to keep on lying,

truly said but we have to defeat apathy by being sympathetic.
