Somewhere in the distance
A gunshot’s heard
Everyone stops and stares
…
Right under your nose
A flower blooms
No one really cares
…
It is comforting to see
Others’ horror affairs
To know we are not
The only ones in despair
Yes it scares me
Yes it scares
But no one cares
No one cares

It is true. How do we fix it? Maybe that saying, “be the change you want to see”

This is so nice! “Right under your nose, A flower blooms, No one really cares” But why do we neglect so much beauty around us?

uncaring care is today’s life – if you know what I mean. It is scary how our world is becoming distancing each one from the other.

We care for a short time and then another affair engages our care and the first is all but forgotten except by those directly affected who are left to sort out their loss. I hope this all gets better.

Lovely. The apathy monster gets us all too often. I love the juxtaposition of images of shootings with a flower opening… gives me an image of beauty and horror both unfolding.

Ain’t that the lamentable truth. In my recent experience don’t care couldn’t even be made to care.
Great words, as always.

Frank, this is written with passion and thought.
I do care, care so my heart cries and I am sure you do too.
Those events are the nightmares of our lives.

It feels that way sometimes, doesn’t it? And then I cross paths with the people who do, and it sure helps me not take them for granted.
