I think it's powerful. I can imagine what you feel, though I don't share the lack of empathy toward the world. I have had a friend and neighbor for the past few years who has the same kind of mentality. I don't care, the world never cared for me, so why should I, etc...
I guess what I'm getting at is, I don't know where you've been, what you've been through, how the world has treated you, but windows of hope DO appear. My neighbor finally got the job they'd been denying him for two years, finally started getting the respect at home and at work that he'd been without for so long, and is no longer vocalizing that kind of sentiment.
The world can be a caring friend or a heartless thief at times. It can sway and enlighten us, convince us, confuse us, blind us or rob us. Although I have not shared the tension, heartbreak or pain you have, remember that the world is not ONLY full of pain. There are people in this very world who will give you a reason to care. You just may not have found them yet.
If this is just original creative content, and not how you actually feel, then bravo. You convinced me so much that I just wrote the above rant about it.
If this is how you actually feel, you have an incredible talent at painting the woeful, helpless nature of the world. Excellent descriptive work. Just compartmentalize that, and use it for creative content, but remember that the whole world is not just in your mind. There are things that you WILL care about in your future, even if that seems impossible at the current moment.
