Solitary Crow

There he sat solitary, brooding on the state of the neighborhood that he beheld. Cement dominated all. Occasionally, he let out a despairing caw; unable to do anything, unable to ignore what was happening around him, but also unable to allow the decline to progress unprotested. Sometimes, I feel like that solitary crow. I wonder why things can be so clear to me and yet nobody cares to see. I try to do my part for the environment, but I feel like I have to carry the share of everyone around me as well. All because they're to lazy and apathetic to care about what happens around them, even if it slowly kills them, their families and even their children and significant others. Why do you care so much they ask me? Because I care about people and their apathy is killing me and mine as well. In this global society, every action taken by every person affects everyone. You can deny it. You can argue against it, but that is the truth and the truth denied is still the truth.
