I Don’t Care

I don’t care about the next election cycle

I don’t care about Democrats and Republicans

I don’t care what they say on the TV shouting news

I don’t care about things that blow up on movie screens

I don’t care about Iran’s influence in the Middle East

I don’t care about what billionaires think

I don’t care about economic growth

I don’t care about who wins the World Series

I don’t care about Russia

I don’t care about Kylie Jenner

I don’t care about what the CIA says

or the NSA

or the Pentagon

or the DHS

or the TSA

or the State Dept

or the FBI

or the DOJ

or the Federal Reserve

I don’t care about the Oscars

I don’t care about the Emmys

I don’t care about the Grammys

I don’t care about being number one

or who thinks they’re number one

I don’t care about whether the U.S. maintains global hegemony

I just want us to survive the next 50 years.

I just want us to be citizens.

I just want us to live together.

Without butchering one another.
