Apathy Rages Unchecked .

A rant

 

Apathy rages unchecked.

 

I have a strong aversion to.

Doing what I’m told to do

Though other people think I should

I have a different attitude

I have a brain I choose to use

To form my independent views.

Although I’m sure to face abuse

Because I stubbornly refuse

To do what they expect of me

To be what they want me to be

I am a man and I am free.

To live the way that I want to

And do the things I choose to do.

Although the vast majority

 do as they’re told quite happily.

They are bogged down in apathy
they can’t think independently.
they either can’t or don’t want to

It makes me sad but I must say

They choose to take the easy way.

They follow like a flock of sheep

Because their minds are lulled to sleep.
they are bombarded  constantly.
with adverts by the powers that be.

Which are designed to fill their mind
to make quite sure they never find.

Any reason to complain.

Because they cannot use their brain..

They are convinced that they are free

and yet submit to slavery.

At least that’s how it seems to me.
Things aren’t as they appear to be

Although the vast majority.

Accept things as they seem to be.

Part me laughed at this because the meter is a bouncy almost tongue in cheek one; then, I frowned, understanding the seriousness of the theme. Tis true, people expect one to conform, to do as bidden, others want to pull strings, play games with thoughts and actions, etc. WRONGGG!

This is fine writing, but then - your posts always are.

While I sympathise with the sentiment
What is said is sometimes not what's meant
I'm puzzled by your punctuation choice
But you have a right to your own voice :)

Marvelous write, and so true.. There is a joy in getting older that allows you to stir up a little trouble and people accept it easier than when we were kids. They assume real trouble comes from 'youth's'. How little they truly know. And such a wonderful rea to start the day with. Thank oyou for posting it.

So very true!. I rock the boat a bit more often now that I am older.
Nice write!
