Silence saying nothing, yet telling us the most
Ending arrogance and humbling their boasts
Ignorance’s cruel blade slicing through our realities
Teaching us of our lack of knowledge, setting us free
Shadows inciting terror within our hearts, hidden truths in plain sight
Questions with answers unwanted, the moon reveals all in the night
Fear a ball and chain upon our legs, holding us back
Bringing to our attention the strengths we may lack
Misery drawing out the tears from our eyes
Helping us remember the value of joy in our lives
Apathy is now and forever our greatest foe
No good comes out of it, this I know

Very good write. Apathy can be a very strong weapon in some instances.
Thank you, Gold!
Wow, that was powerful! but that last line kills me, as deep inside I know you are right. We are the only ones in this planet to keep thinking up better ways to blow each other apart, this part of the brain "apathy" is still struggling within us!
Thank you very much, Dan! And yeah, the reality of it is too true.
