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.
