Does Anybody Give a Damn

Is there anybody out there
is there anyone who gives a damn
about the one sitting next to them
do you, does she, does he
give a damn
is there so much pain
and degradation in this world
that so many have simply 
stopped giving a damn
about those they care about
do you, does she, does he
do any of them
realize that the world is 
on the way to one fantastic ending
in a big huge bang
from the sky or from the ground
goodbye cruel world
goodbye to the cruelties of this world
that we call Mother Earth

Actually I do give a damn and I do care about people, so much that volunteer to care for others 3 days a week. You can find goodness, if you look hard enough. Lee
