When Attention Given Is Gone

It doesn't matter how fools are made.
It doesn't matter who has been betrayed.
It doesn't matter at all these days,
Who is wise with wisdom...
Or incompetent.

It doesn't matter what is heard to say.
It doesn't matter values have decayed.
It doesn't matter how this is displayed.
As one as those have done to it,
Have their way.

People follow what they've been told.
To not think.
They are heading down the wrong road.
To not think.
What's ahead will trap them in a deep hole.
Too deep and too late,
For them to seek escape.

It doesn't matter how or when fools are made.
It doesn't what excuses they make.
It doesn't matter who is blame to accuse.
When warned to listen.
But to this they refuse.

It's too late!
To wish for time to turn it back.
It's too late!
To use their minds,
When they've could have done that.
It's too late!
For them to want to pay attention.
When that attention given to them has gone!
When attention given,
Has gone.
