That Selective Indifference...

Why this impermanence in relationships

that selective indifference we see slowly creeping into our lives

treasured bonds no longer there for keeps

where gently nurtured relationships, harmonious and full of love

seem to drift off the window into a world of nothingness

Existence itself becomes clothed in callous pragmatism

practical, driven perhaps...but inhumane nevertheless

lifestyles turn callous, even brutal, shrouded in cold indifference...

the genuine glee bought about by impromptu visits and unplanned

meetings, at suddenly seeing loved ones at our doorstep, 
all seem to be a sentiment of our past...familiar perhaps, to only generations of yesteryear

Hearts still claim to care; we assert that love is very much there

then why have we lost what made us wholesome and humane

that which gave us our caring identities we were so proud of possessing...

that generosity we possessed with never an expectation...

I urge you therefore...do strive to revive these relationships

and rebuild these breaking bonds

for without them we cease to exist as human beings
