a poem of ignorance.

your life is ending
every minute
every day.
What are you doing to accomplish
Sitting in your bathwater.
Eating your sweets.
Watching your television programs.
There is a world of hurt
living right outside your doorway
and you’re worried about
your clock being two minutes too fast
when people will never know
what time it is.
Don’t be selfish
and greedy.
It’s not flattering
on a personality.
Don’t sit and watch the world burn,
jump in and start watering it down.
