Scribbler Of Verses Poet I do not know?

I Don'T Care

I Don't Care...


I don't care,
if you're battered black and blue,

I don't care,
just as long as I can drink and screw.



I don't care,
if you've lost your damn job,

I don't care,
you're just a kernel off the cob.



I don't care,
when I see you begging in the street,

I don't care,
I get to suckle on capitalism's raw teat.



I don't care,
about the elderly, the poor, or the weak,

I don't care,
if the earth will be inherited by the meek.



I don't care,
if the climate is warming, I'm so much cooler,

I don't care,
in my penthouse I'm the boss, the only ruler.



I don't care,
for those rolling for scraps in the muck,

I don't care,

I really don't care, cos' I don't give a f**k



inspired by Bob Geldof's "The Great Song of Indifference"

Funom Makama March 23, 2013 at 9:02 AM beautiful poem, well written. In such a windy and snowy day, reading this piece just completes my relaxation. What a poem!

I wish you the very best, and my warmest regards from a cool and drizzley Johannesburg here at the southern tip of the African continent! Thanks again!
