Do We Really Care?

Do We Really Care?

Do we really care
What goes into the air
As long as we can drive
And pretend to thrive

Do we really care
What things become trash
The piles continue to grow
And we continue our Show

Do we really care
While extinctions grow
They try to hide
In places we don't go

Our plans for Mars
And travel to the stars
Seem distant now
As some ancient vow

Do we really care
What will be, will be
As the TV goes dark
Our remains wash to the Sea

Rabid Poet
