76. Apathetic Discernment

How can you see the sun glow,

But never warmth from it to know?

How can you see the vibrant sky,

But feel no stirrings to comply?

How can you hear kind words said,

Feel no consent, discord instead?

How can you see and hear everything,

And yet no feelings, therefore, bring?
