The Ice of IndifferenceA Poem by ThoctarThis, Disintegrating, and Flames of Hatred form a sort of trilogy in a way.The Ice of Indifference I have been burnt by the Flames of Hatred I have disintegrated so many times I can no longer comprehend them What now? What will strike next? What could be worse than Flames or Destruction? But the ice The ice of indifference It is closing in on me If it closes in on me, if it swallows me up in its cold embrace I will lose all empathy, all emotion I will cause irreparable pain…. Horrible, terrible pain At least with hatred you care about them you can care about others Indifference… Looking upon all the same, upon all with nothing Blank looks from the eyes Looking forth upon the world That is what you will see If the ice consumes me Slowly advancing Covering burnt and destroyed ground Building upon it all Until I can no longer resist And once I lose my ability to move To resist, to escape I shall no longer be able to live Survive possibly, but not live I cannot be swallowed by the ice of indifference Therein lies the destruction of all Flames merely burn, disintegration merely does away with the body The Ice traps and destroys all
