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 10th February 2020
