I Couldn't Care Less
I don’t give a damn about whales
Elephants? Not my prime concern
Pollution may be rising in the sea
And in the air
But I really don’t care
Where disease is rife
And children live on the streets
Squalid lives are spent
There’s war but no relief
But I really don’t care
Soon we’ll all be buried beneath
Piles of our own waste
Chasing the next bright new thing
On our globalised rat race
But I really don’t care
I have enough to eat
Animals are simply meat
No ozone? Good I’ll catch a tan
As I sit in a traffic jam
Does anyone really care?

Well said.
Even though we all claim to care, in the end we just want what is the next thing.
I posted a poem called "Homeless".
But in truth when one approaches me I feel guilty but mostly worried that he or she will do harm to me.
Good writing.
