What's It Got To Do With Me

There's a bluebird in a tree A new cable service fee Rioters on a looting spree What's it got to do with me Protesters now all take a knee There's a viral strain of killer bee Coral reefs are dying in the sea What's it got to do with me In Congress, partisans can't agree Teachers won't give students 'E's' Anyone can get a degree What's it got to do with me Well, if from this world you flee Your heart will be an amputee

I was hoping that someone would notice the point. It took some heavy lifting to transfer it from the top of my head to the bottom of the poem! ~ Smiles and Chuckles, gw

We are all affected - your last line so poignant -

We are all affected, like you wrote... And we're so interconnected now... And thanks for the love on this one, Michelle. You are too kind! :) gw
