Aint No Body Cares Really Poem by Phillip Nine Mafunga

You could be a great swimmer
May be sinking in debt even
All smiles and frowns surrounding
Know this one thing son
That nobody cares who you are

Like I said son
Nobody cares really
But only what you are able to do
That which to them is of great benefit
Yes, for that, your name never shall always be in their praise songs

You could be handsome for all I care
May be smart or wise, even
Know this my son
That, mountains will not shake when you die
For none cares really

So, son better sober up
And be the change agent in your own world
Hold out the torch for all to see the way
For, like I said son
Nobody cares really.
