Apathy and ignorance
met
by fate
along with two others
on a double
blind date.
Of course
apathy and ignorance
were a compatible pair.
One didn't know
and the other
didn't care.
At the far end of the table
were also
two of a kind
as compassion
and understanding
shared the same mind.
Now isn't just like human nature
when they say
opposites attract
and in this case
it would be served
by the natural fact
that apathy
needed compassion
to see the light
and understanding
could provide ignorance
with a whole new insight.
Alas
it just wasn't
meant to be
and after dinner,
the movie,
the foursome went to see
had apathy and ignorance
both laughing
as if common sense were denied
while compassion
and understanding
both sat and cried.
