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
