Confounds and Confuses Me
Why do people refuse
to be nice to each other
this is what confounds
and confuses me the most
especially in these times
of ever growing technology
social graces
have gone out the door
so much so that
people hardly chat anywhere
other than online
pleasant people are the anomaly
if you get to see people’s eyes at all
usually a vacant and blank stare
is what you see
Even people as they
approach their final curtains
don’t even seem to be conscious
of their greedy self-centered
inconsiderate and uncaring
selfish manners beyond excuse
do they really believe
it’s too late to change their ways
and gamble they won’t have to atone
some day soon
for their miserable attitudes
Apathy has become a trend
that appalls and behooves me
