Just a short poem about people caring less.
If nothing mattered at all,
We wouldn't care if we stumble or fall.
Nobody would pass us withering glances
We wouldn't need several other chances.

Too bad life doesn't work that way,
We have to watch the things we do and say.
The things I say, the things I do...
Do they really matter to you?

If only people cared less...
There wouldn't be as much distress.
We could live without a second thought,
Instead, we have to analyze a lot.

Life is meant to be on-the-spur.
Life is meant to be full of allure.
But we have to stop and calculate.
Life is too short to contemplate.

There wouldn't be a word called war.
No fights, no enemies, no blood and gore.
Life would be a simple walk in the mall,
If nobody cared and nothing mattered at all.
