Note: This is my idea of the last thoughts running through Jon's head as he becomes indifferent to the world around him. I don't own Watchmen. Probably a good thing.
The Last Second
He didn't care
He knew he didn't care
It was the only thing he cared about:
That he didn't care
Everyone else had a passion
Dan with his owls
Adrian with his business
Even Laurie with life in general
But he felt all passions leaving him
He wasn't driven to do anything
He already knew what would happen
He didn't act to act
He had already acted
He followed in his own footsteps
Became a shadow
An echo
Of himself
They said Rorschach was crazy
Said he was obsessed with passion
Said it wasn't healthy
Jon disagreed
Better to be obsessed with passion
Than have none at all
Passion made you human
Gave you something to cling to
A reason
A purpose
Rorschach had a purpose
(Though no one else might understand it)
They all did
They cared about something
It gave them life
At best, he only half-cared
About anything
And he felt so dead
