Robert Kinard Poet Free verse

Nobody Cares

Somewhere, Anywhere and Everywhere
Everybody's looking for somebody
and nobody cares.
Busybody told Everybody
that Somebody was trying
to get their freak on.
Nobody told Busybody
that Somebody likes to sleep till noon.
But Busybody lied and told Everybody
that Somebody sleeps in the nude.
So, Everybody knocked on Anybody’s door
looking for Somebody.
Anybody got mad
and told Everybody
where they can go,
Somebody knew that Busybody
was a gossip queen.
So, by the time
Everybody got there.
Somebody slapped Busybody
 into next week...
Anybody could have stopped it
and told Nobody.
Nobody felt sorry for Busybody
because...  Nobody cares...
Everybody reading this poem
knows Somebody like Busybody.
...
So, who cares?

Richard Lamoureux November 27, 2019 at 9:24 AM I like somebody but am concerned that nobody cares. I think nobody cares about anybody and should be a bit more discerning. I think after this piece everybody will be a fan of your writing. Robert Kinard November 27, 2019 at 10:50 AM I would like that. Thank you
