In the silence of the crowd, a whisper lost,
A plea for care, at such a chilling cost.
“Do they care for me?” I query the void,
My voice, a drop in the ocean, simply destroyed.
I walk the streets, a specter unseen,
Among the throngs, alone, I lean.
“Do they care for my life?” I ponder in sorrow,
Today is just the prelude to a desolate tomorrow.
Through the trials I face, the pain I know,
I stand in the rain, yet untouched by its flow.
“Do they care for my struggles?” I ask the night,
But the stars above are cold, a distant light.
Yet, I care, oh, I care so deeply it aches,
For the hearts around me, for humanity’s stakes.
Ignored, I may be, a shadow in their gaze,
But I refuse to part with my compassionate ways.
What they fail to see in me, I recognize in them,
The potential for kindness, a world to mend.
But I’m met with silence, a world so hollow,
Where dreams are but dust, and hope can’t follow.
This world, once vibrant, now the loss of all hope,
A tapestry unraveled, at the end of its rope.
The loss of all dreams, a future unclear,
Humanity’s disappeared, or so it would appear.
Yet in this twisted reality, I find a spark,
A flicker of something, in the dark.
For as long as I care, as long as I see,
There’s a chance for change, a chance to be free.
So let this poem be a twisted cry,
For a world that’s lost, but still, we try.
To find the humanity that’s gone astray,
To bring back the dreams, to light the way.
