Oh apathetic world
Unplug your deaf ears
Listen to me, I beg
Soften your hard hearts and allow them to breath

Oh apathetic world
Let your heart become impassioned
Let your conscience disagree
Feel the spark of inspiration flood your soul again

Oh apathetic world
I pray that one word I dare to utter
Lights within you a frail heartbeat of passion
That one sentence I speak enrages you

Oh apathetic world
How ominous is the line you walk
Apathy is more dangerous than hatred
Your meager satisfaction with normalcy is a mirage.

Oh apathetic world,
Dare to push the lines of conformity
Wade through the lagoon of practicality
For once in your sad lives, drink in zeal, every last drop.

Oh apathetic world,
I beg of you, feel any emotion
that throws itself in your path.
Ride these waves of feeling,
Grasp them with white knuckles.

Oh apathetic world, I beg you, do not stop caring.
For when you stop caring, the world will cease to have hope.
