Apathy

a piece I wrote a lil while ago...

Apathy

every day a new baby dies
every day a mother cries
every day bombs shell away
every day governments betray

every day people live with hope and pray
every day military delivers white bouquets
every day new promises are made
every day street folk begging for aid

every day slept in comfortable beds
every day victimized souls slept in sheds
every day driving hip cars
every day innocent persons behind bars

every day salute the flag's stars
every day on the flag a new scar
every day we spend sitting around
every day innocent civilians shot down

every day people are dying
every day there is a new crime
every day tragedy's got a new name
every day people dying in its game

every day, every day, every fucking day
i can't fall asleep, cuz my soul feels prey
no i aint paranoid, nor am i turnin gray
becomming inactive and apathetic
is of what im afraid

im afraid cuz people with apathy
are this planet's biggest disease
while people are murdered, they sit like trees
atleast a tree is there giving life
they just sit still, watching people go through strife
don't know what kinda cold heart they got within
but givin birth to them is a mother's biggest sin

i don't understand how these people sit and watch
go to bed thinkin nothing of what they saw
i wanna hurl at thought of injustice they help commit
by being apathetic and silence's little bitch
God gave you a brain and a mouth with an intent
quit sitting there quietly with yo ass bent
get up and use your intellect, its a God-given present
don't waste it like you do every other cent

can't believe you can sit there watching crimes
gettin pleasure watching babies murdered and mothers crying
fuckin jackin off to sistas gettin raped and dying
if it was up to me, for all your apathetic crimes
i would shoot yo ass point blank,
to God's court send you flying

yeah people with apathy
are this planet's biggest disease
cuz every day innocent people are killed
and government acts of genocide fulfilled
while people sit there on their asses thrilled
to them it has become entertaining tv drama
tell me how much would you enjoy,
if gettin raped was yo momma
now i know you ready to pull out yo shotty
why the fuck am i dissin yo mommy
but before you do that,
tell my why you murdering God's beauty
by not speaking against injustice
and homicidin with apathy
