Absently he gazes at a world in motion
People’s soul's completely invested
All eager engrossed enthused amused
They seem to all have devotion
He alone stands away from those requested
Yielding no answers, remaining bemused

It took me a while to 'decode' your poem, as I hadn't realised the letters in bold had any significance, but then I noticed they spell 'Apathy' - the theme of this poem. The character in the poem is, to put it plainly, apathetic in his attitude towards life, as indicated by the diction 'he gazes at the world in motion', 'he alone stands away from those requested', 'yielding no answers'. It's like he's a spectator, not getting involved, but alomost as if he is mocking the people who do have a passion and do get involved in things. I liked ur use of alliteration 'eager, engrossed, enthused, amused', and the rhyme, even though it doesn't follow a pattern, is still evident. good job!

Nice! i love how the Bols letters spell apathy. wich is the theme and the way the character appears to be. It seems that the character is in the third person like if hes spectating. In all it was nice and shoet
