I Don’t Care.
.
.
I don’t care,
if you’re battered black and blue,
I don’t care,
just as long as I can drink and screw.
.
.
I don’t care,
if you’ve lost your damn job,
I don’t care,
you’re just a kernel off the cob.
.
.
I don’t care,
when I see you begging in the street,
I don’t care,
I get to suckle on capitalism’s raw teat.
.
.
I don’t care,
about the elderly, the poor, or the weak,
I don’t care,
if the earth will be inherited by the meek.
.
.
I don’t care,
if the climate is warming, I’m so much cooler,
I don’t care,
in my penthouse I’m the boss, the only ruler.
.
.
I don’t care,
for those rolling for scraps in the muck,
I don’t care,
I really don’t care, cos’ I don’t give a fuck.

Help is nowhere when all of us can not help even our self. So yes Mr. Sagan is a real tech prophet of our time. Thing is, when can we really see the real help, when it is our own life death situation. I don’t cater not to believe that all the world has to know someone/something sinister is coming for all of us(humankind). Do we have to even care to hear such things in order for the unifying global effort! When we can just be helpful when we can and not just outright do when we need some kind of benefit first for the self then others.

Capitalism creates jobs. Jobs raise people from poverty and dependence. Jobs are the only source of government revenue. Governments are the ones suckling off of capitalism’s bounty. It is the Capitalist who cares for all the rest.

We may agree to disagree on this one, dear friend. My very warmest of wishes to you and to all those dear to you. This is what I love about WordPress. We can and indeed must challenge each others views and this forum presented to us by WordPress is a wonderful way to share ideas and deeply held beliefs. Warmest wishes yet again 😊
