Good Semaritans

With tired words
and a vacuous stare
you are told about
reasons why you should care
and how you have come up short
but in the end you
can't imagine why you should

with hollow words
on slow wagging tongues
you are told why
your way of life is useless
and to wanton ideas you have succumb
but you don't mind
long ago they left their lives behind

with empty words
that echo through the years
have they stripped many
from which they really cared
not so humanity will be a better race
but to justify themselves
by making everyone a disgrace
