It Doesn't Matter
So often and so many of us, live under the delusion that things matter when actually if we'd pull our heads out of the sand, they don't matter.
It doesn’t matter if
the air con is broke,
the car got scratched
or the wine ain’t chilled.
It doesn’t matter.
Don’t matter if
the dog went on the carpet
or the DOW’s up or down.
Don’t matter if
there’s an earthquake in Ecuador
or you won the Super 7.
No worries about
missing the 9 am meeting
drinking too much
drinking too little
no mayo in the fridge
a bad back, a better world.
It doesn’t matter.
It doesn’t matter if
the bus is late or
you arrived too early
or
Sunnis are killing Shias
or
Shias are killing Sunnis
or
Justin Bieber is doing time.
Don’t matter if
you are this or
should be that.
Don’t matter if
the dog got your cat or
carbon emissions are up.
It doesn’t matter.
It doesn’t matter
if your mother-in-law
hates your guts
or the plane’s delayed.
Don’t matter if
your bank balance is $0
or the remote is broke.
Doesn’t matter if
you don’t finish this poem
or ever do.
It doesn’t matter.
Why?
It doesn’t matter.
We are born into a society blinded by illusion. The illusion is re-enforced everyday and tied into the expansive tapestry of what society calls reality. When we challenge the illusion we challenge the core of most people, sadly so many cannot see past the veil of the illusion that envelops them. Thanks for the piece.
