This descriptive poem is both thoughtful and thought-provoking. I THINK
it is about people who do care about making the world better, actually make plans, then do NOT act on them. ???

I will not say I enjoyed this poem as enjoy is the wrong word. It make me also feel helpless. Having said this. It is well written poem catching what many of us feel and think.
Thoughtful and memorable work.
Take care and stay well.

I enjoyed reading what I assume is a commentary on our current political situation. However, I think there are other factors at work, not so much apathy. Anyway, your words are well chosen and the rhymes work too.

It would be good to nip tyranny in the bud before it manifests itself in our history books, alas this will never be and all we can do is look back and have regrets and hope it is not once again repeated, but I fear human kind keep on making the same mistakes over and over, a poignant write, love Dolly x

Hello Clockwise, a terrific Thursday to you. I enjoyed your poem as you can see by the 6 stars I gave it. The flow and rhymes were good and the message was great. Good job and have a great day!

    A great quote by Edmund Burke, and one I think of often. Thanks so much for the six!

I like what you say here. Your lines are short and incisive. You say things with abandon, like talking to your own conscience. It tells abut me as well; I am quiet woman, once I was a quiet little girl...Now in my golden age, I am waking up. I count!

Dear Clockwork, this poem needs to be bookcased because of the raw emotion voiced.
Emotion that applies to so many situations, for so many people, so many times, during this life of mortal existence. Thank you for posting it here.

I liked this. I clicked on 6 stars only to find none left. I thought we had 6 of them each week. I am sure I have not used six. Perhaps in my absence they have been reduced.
Know this is worth. I like the repeat at the end, something I like to do, which cements the emphasis.
Well done.
My best wishes.

See something, say something. Feel something, do something. Too many people are watching the destruction of our country, our society and most of our institutions. We don't like it, but not enough of us are willing to do something about it. We have to stand up and do whatever we must to return to a state of normalcy. Great write.
