Analysis of Who Cares

James Johnson 1952 (Algoma, WV)



More and more and more hatred
or less and less and less
Who cares
If there is no best
or if there is no test
                    nor rest
Who cares
If love and love is love
or if hate and hate makes hate
if all is meaningless
or if all is a mess
                  or even less
Who cares
If we all keep on and on and on
or think we all are alone
                  in non sense
Who cares
If no one listen to God's word
to unite in body in soul
and share what this world molds

James Johnson

I'm an everyday man who enjoys life as God wishes. It is portrayed through my love of poetry. I'm here because God wants me to be for His purpose only. Most of my work is done within minutes after thoughts and visions. I hope you can interpret and enjoy the benefits of my poetic guidance and input. more…
