My response

I don’t care

to share

my life with them

 

I don’t care for

their despair

I don’t care

to share

my life with them

 

I don’t care

 

They do not live

as I live

they do not

show me

what I don’t

already know

they do not

live the way

I live

I don’t care

which way they go

 

I do not care

to share my

life with them

 

I don’t care

to share

my care

 

they do not live

the way I want

to live

they do not

care to

find it so

 

I do not care

to share

their despair

nor find

myself

in their crosshair

although

I may not have

the choice I choose

the choice I choose

will be my muse

and will celebrate

my different shoes

to walk a different

path then they

I don’t care

to enter their

foray.

 

I don’t care

to share

my life

with them

 

I don’t care

just what

they do

 

I don’t care

to open my eyes

to them

 

I don’t care

just what

they do

 

I care

for my life

and for those

like me

who believe

that humans

majestically

are gods

and creators

all the same

until they

choose a

life of shame

and even then

there’s always

choice

to bring you

back to love

rejoice

 

but them, they, those

that fight and yell

and propagate

authority

for the sake of fear

to dominate

are ones

that I have left behind

my life is not

worth their kind

and even though

we live together

meaning

on this planet

earth

I will stoop to them

no more, my son

for they know

not

what

they’re worth

 

I don’t care

to share

my life

with them

 

I don’t care

just what

they do

 

I don’t care

to share

my life

with them

 

They are

destruction

through

and

through
