623 - Apathy

An apathy has struck into my brain
Something that most people will sometime feel
I even pondered retiring - not Spain! -
To spend more time on things that I have real
Interest in doing. But, of course, we all
Have families, and I must support mine
Realistically it would be a tall
Order to live on half my income, find
My way around without a car, trying
To buy or rent somewhere that’s cheap again
Like when I was a student, down at heel
Would I profitably use all my time
Or would apathy strike again, a chain
In a self-made prison tougher than steel?
