apathy begat genocide

dusk arising

 

 

I am disgusted
at you, yes you
the ones who read
'it matters'
on Thursday
and are so apathetic
or just plain racist
that you couldnt
be bothered
to type a simple
Y E S
History proves
that your apathy
kills millions of people!
WAKE UP!
It is not enough
to not be racist.
The worst thing
you can do is
to do nothing!

  • Comment from author about the poem: Out of 27 viewings only 10 cared enough to respond to my post IT MATTERS which was my offering of a chance to show solidarity for \\\'Black lives matter\\\'. It is especially disappointing and perhaps quite revealing, that of those who regularly make religious posts on here and also claim their devout belief, only one responded. Shame on the others.

    It was such a shame d a and shows that there are many who just do not care.

    Yet I suppose it's like any poems on here - we may pick and choose poems, and authors. But, as you say, 18 views, and only 7 commented, seems poor.

    We clearly missed each other on the day in question.. but you now have a very big YES from me

  • GON

    Eh, I think it's unfair to judge like that.

    • dusk arising

      And racism is fair????? Or don't u care?

      • GON

        Well, I think it's unfair to call people names just because they don't do what you say. You don't really have that right.

        Love Your Poem!
        Yes to me also it is 1 thing to be just plain evil.
        A whole level of being worse to be Apathetic. Just a thought

      • Barry Hodges

        There are worse things in the world than being "racist" - such as murderer, rapist, liar, Donald Trump.

        • dusk arising

          Well ten out of ten for writing the wrong thing at the wrong time. Lets see some poetry from you about your "worse things" if you are not to be seen as apathetic about those too.

          • Barry Hodges

            Can you write a bit more clearly and less obscurely, dear?
