Lullaby

It is someone else’s problem

I have enough on my plate

It isn’t really that big a problem

Personally, because that’s just how it is

Enough, air, food, water and shelter

For everyone?

Are you joking? Seriously, I don’t have enough

How can anyone else matter?

Maybe in the future, when we/they all die

Why think about it now? I mean isn’t it

Enough that we finance a mortgage

Why do we have to finance the Earth?

I have too many problems of my own

My health, my family, my income

Let someone else take care of this one

I will continue to buy whatever I can

To live a comfortable life, it is my instinct

To have, to amass, to enjoy!

I am a religious person and god told me

To enjoy the bounty of the planet

God is in charge didn’t you know?

It isn’t for mortals to concern themselves

With the problems of nature, because

God will figure it out!

Yes, that’s it!

God will do it!
Bugger should take care of something

Once in a while at least!

If I really believed in god,

I’d be shouting and crying

But I am not crazy, thank god

That’s why I can successfully

Numb the pain of being alive

And watching it all die

While I party for the 100th time this year.

Tell the hermit to knock elsewhere

Not my door, no not my door

I am too normal, honest and successful

Yawn…..set the alarm for 6am

Gotta get that raise this year.
