Apathy

Can't be bothered describing it....

Sonnet 623 - Monday 19 May 2008

An apathy has struck into my brain

Something that most people will sometime feel

I even pondered retiring - not Spain! -

To spend more time on things that I have real

Interest in doing. But, of course, we all

Have families, and I must support mine

Realistically it would be a tall

Order to live on half my income, find

My way around without a car, trying

To buy or rent somewhere that’s cheap again

Like when I was a student, down at heel

Would I profitably use all my time

Or would apathy strike again, a chain

In a self-made prison tougher than steel?

 

Author's Note

I can't be bothered. Leave me alone!

Sorry Tony, but I'm too apathetic to comment further!!!! Yes, in all seriousness, there's the weight of providing for our basic needs, and then on top of that there's the weight of our own desires and hopes, particularly nagging if we are would-be writers!

Ah yes, I know you are very busy. But! Isn't it not so funny how the day to day routines we call responsibilities put such a weight on our free souls? I get all apathetic just thinking about it.
