Indifference

By Mark Bishop

Indifference

Commonly mistaken for

Uncommon tolerance

Sweeps away the innocence

of those who choose to care

If the One who's very name is love

Is stricken from our signs and schools

How long until our laws are tools

Mere walls and bars to keep us fools

Chasing after endless passion

Until people are all the same

Swept away in the normalcy

Of sex, money, freedom, fame

honor, success, hidden shame

Who will rise to part these waters?

can we leave this world to our son or daughter

knowing they are only fodder for life's cruel plays

Destined to spend countless days pondering why they'd even live another?

No

Freedom from worth is not a right I choose to embrace

Freedom to act like everyone's right is not the same as grace 
Oh generation wake up and face the terror of indifference
