ApathyBy Billy ZhengWhen you ignored that Guy while having dinnerWhen you got afraid of that girl's looksWhen you saw the sad looking dude on the leftand just left him alone.How many more people have to be indifferentand for their own sake of fun and laughter and fearscondemn a soul to eternal suffering?We sing making a difference in our livesand then jump with joy and slap high-fivesWe move on with the ones we knowleaving the rest, the new in shadow.Lucifer waits for one mistakeand that guy who you saw while having dinnerthat 'ugly' girlthat sad dude on the left, they're hisDevils waiting for your slipMaking things very attractive toConvenietly forget.Convenietly 'not see.'We sing making a difference in our lives
and then jump with joy and slap high-fives
We move on with the ones we know
leaving the rest, the new in shadow.Judgement day's come, He's here!We all sprout wings and before we knowHere's heaven! Everybody's awesome and singingThe praises of the Lord and King.And upon that throne He sitsThe One and OnlyThe Lion and The LambJesus, God and Holy SpiritBut he looks down at usand we see nothing but tearsflowing down His Awesome FaceHe looks and says:"Why didn't you care?"We sing making a difference in our lives
and then jump with joy and slap high-fives
We move on with the ones we know
leaving the rest, the new in shadow.It's a poem inspired by Does anybody hear her by Casting Crowns.
Written because there was once a time where i felt out of church and i was just a shadow amongst a bunch of On Fire youths
Because there was once i almost left church because i just felt so lonely.
Written for those left behind alone because of insecurities, fear and faithlessness,
And those who could have come to the Father,
But crushed by the apathy and indifference of people who could have just
Given a smile, and a helping hand.
But didn't.
Written to remind people not to lose anyone anymore because of indifference.
