Apathy

They’re speaking quite loudly with haughty indignance
Revealing their chances have dwindled and faded
To make their true mark on the world they’ve created
While moaning and screaming with seething malignance

Their grievances found with the people they pester
Is nominal next to their toxic behavior
If only as children they’d had more exposure
Instead of allowing resentment to fester

If even a purposeful path they can follow
It’s buried in mindless indulgent pretension
Abandoning reason, denying dissension
They threaten detractors with words ringing hollow
