What Difference Does It Make?

Some use this question as a "cop out" absolving them
Of their personal responsibilities, just existing on a whim.
If everone on our earth had this cop out attitude,
Our planet would reflect one big vicious and defeating field.

As long as there are enough ones to care, then those who don't
Will shovel their load off on those who do. It won't
Bother the uncaring one at all. In fact, they're "crowing" about "how smart I am"
And how dumb you are. So, on with the eternal scam.

In eternity, I doubt if their name appears as how they failed or won,
But on their personal record that each soul has, it all is written there, one by one.
If everyone on this earth truly cared about life on our planet here,
There would be a heaven here, now, filled with love and caring instead of destructive fear.
