All-American Refugee

All-American Refugee

Apathy is my friend,
Indifference is the game we play, 
When we pretend control is something we ever had. 

Violence is my neighbor, 
Panic is their brand, 
Suffering is their intent 
Spared to all except the innocent.

Empty are the remaining plots that history marks as victims, 
Waiting, waiting, waiting, for the next opportunity when human life, 
Becomes an afterthought. 

Apathy is my friend. 
Indifference is...
