Why Care

WHY CARE By Stan Almendro The winds of change are blowing over land and over sea And we will feel its might and power to bind or to set free Gone are the days of learning to add, subtract, and divide For the answers to life's questions are found at the cost of pride As the winds of change keep blowing over your life and mine The sense of things everlasting is lost in this fleeting time No one to tell a story about things of their childhood days For in the place of simplicity are the things which do not stay The winds of change have come in the place of real things And it comes with fleeting pleasure and no satisfaction brings We are told to float in the tide of life or pay for being different This rears its head in all our lives and has no respect of persons And as these winds keep blowing no joy or peace unfolds For it keeps us all in the cruel race hurting with all the falls Yet there are those who have chosen to sit in life’s’ rocking chair And by their lives, their joy their peace shows all they couldn’t care
