I did not start writing to only wrestle against society's apathy,

With its trappings of desire, greed, power, cruelty and control,

For apathy is always at war, and thinks not about how it feels.

Instead, I set out to free myself and the soft hearts caught up in it,

Lost within the dark spaces of cynicism, manipulation and despair,

For apathy always wars hardest against them who feel connection.

Yet, it is the soft hearts that well pain deep within,

Cracking open in our moments of greatest despair,

Allowing an outpouring on a world yet to be reborn.

And it's when the soft hearts feel freed to love honestly, 

Will we find a way out of darkness to a promised world,

Overcoming the horrors we allowed ourselves become.

So rejoice with each other, this darkness too shall pass, 

For only love is everlasting, and overcomes all powers, 

And even a small ripple of it, can resound a world over.

So reveal your honest love, wide open and free,

And watch in wonder the world be transformed,

As it's the bridging language of everyday people.

For truly I say this, it is not wealth, power, control, nor even intelligence,

But simple honest love that is the most revolutionary force ever known.

And all others revolve interconnected within it, moving along trajectory,

Yet, the moment this truth is doubted, is also when apathy seizes reign.

But let the soft hearts open,

Let honest love be a guide,

To restore our connections,

And live well with this world.
