When God said "my creation drowns and you sing?"

You stopped mourning the enemy.
Their life felt like nothing.

You stopped mourning the innocent
their cries became background noise
a necessary evil.

And then,

They stop mourning the apathetic
Your silence burns them out;
Your emptiness becomes their own

My own.

Your enemy is now.
A necessary evil.

Empathy cannot bind to dead cells.
The cycle spreads through what's left without it.
Indifference infects the heart.
All creation drowns and we sing.
