THE GREATEST CRIME
While apathy looms 
like a violent storm
crimes against humanity
continue to go on 
As the black death seethes 
across pristine seas
We occupy our minds 
with trivial things
Trivial things
like what’s there to eat?
And broadcast shows 
from mindwarp TVs
Preoccupied with wars
in foreign lands
While the real war 
Is here at home
While a price will be paid 
for the choices made
Our greatest crime now
Is to look the other way

The greatest crime against humanity is apathy.
