Left In The Cold Poem by Jonathan Goldman a.k.a JGthepoet

Will anyone worry?
Will anybody care?
If I was not present,
If I was not there?

When would someone enquire
If I was well or ill?
If I was in pain,
Or lying dead ~ still?

We lead busy lives,
All of us ~ here,
If we cry out in pain,
Will anyone ~ us hear?

If I don't attend work,
Or Synagogue to pray,
Will someone visit me,
Soon ~ or the next day?

I'm sorry to say,
In this busy world,
We're left on our own,
We're left ~ in the cold.
