Does Anybody Really Care
Will you tell me please, if you dare?
Does anybody really care?
We say that we do, show remorse;
For thoughts from our peers-stay the course.
We say not, but it is still greed.
Is this thinking of the same seed?
Donate to charities and such,
Mindful not to give each too much.
Pass by people holding their sign,
Thinking, "My money is all mine."
Never knowing the how or why,
Or seeing the tear they never cry.
Assuming they are capable
Of putting food on the table.
Most can, but some simply can not.
Lost demons, of which were fought.
We use the word of the same name,
Playing our hand of the greed game.
Can, or will not look in the eye;
Stay busy, until we pass by.
For our own greed, we question theirs;
Proving- Nobody really cares.
