Kai Michael Neumann Poet Rhyme

Who Cares

Please tell me if you have a moment to spare

And do not discount it as too much of a dare

Honesty and truth can do don’t think its a scare

But the mere question is does anyone care


Dwell deep if you must inside your own mind

Until you find evidence be it wicked or kind

Emotion and pure reason may be intertwined

Opinions and facts although must be aligned


Could you live without love faith and devotion

Spread hatred and warfare for self promotion

Worship crude conquests and Armies in motion

Or is it more worthwhile to seek some magic potion


Please look in the mirror after a passionate night

Does the reflection smile on the virulent knight

Are broken shards weapons of self-absorbed fight

Is your conscience clear and sincere motive tight


Are you projecting on others when leaving a mark

On this poor planet which seems unbelievably stark

Wolf in sheep clothing fantasy figure or magical snark

What stops you from being a candle lighting the dark


Burnt out at both ends or have you lost plot and wick

Have your excuses been feeble and disguises too thick

Soul searching has no easy fix and solutions are’t quick

But remember that untold secrets can make you sick


Eye’s splinter fester when faking purulent contrition

Take off the blinkers when blaming the human condition

For lack of caring enough in acts of fruitless abscission

At the cutting edge of my sole request lies your volition
