Who Cares (?)

Fluttering ‘round sustained unrest

Ideas, words derived in jest

In effort to become the best

A rock, a hard place; be ‘tween pressed

This spoiled sport, demanding all

More counter ticks or else forestall

As stories go, to thwart the call

And whisper screams, true criminal

Dancing digits fill up the screen

For most, the shape is too obscene

What happens when we dare to dream?

Confused and careless, so it’d seem

Tenuous hold, hair’s breadth from crazy

Beliefs begin reflecting hazy

Fruitless search translates too phrasey

Branch to flake takes shape as lazy

So let it pass, those thoughts that snare

Tend to the heart what’s laying bare

Spun in a web, ready to share

The beat that moves us all to care
