Can You Care? Can You Dare To Be Aware? Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Can You Care? Can You Dare To Be Aware?



Care!
And dare,
To be aware...
Of others born with feelings too.
Although they may not express them,
The way that you do.
But...
Care!
And dare,
To be aware...
Of these times we live to be ever changing.
And fears many hide to refuse they aren't there.

Care!
And dare,
To be aware...
Of people losing everything that they've ever owned.
Or thought they would forever be to them known and shown.
Can you care?
And dare to be aware,
That a homelessness and hunger...
Isn't just for some,
Who laid around with wishes wanting this to come.

Care.
Can you care?
Of people losing everything that they've ever owned.
Or thought they would forever be to them known and shown.
Can you care?
Can you dare to be aware...
That a homelessness and hunger...
Isn't just for some,
Who laid around with wishes wanting this to come.

Can you care?
Can you dare to be aware...
Of others living through some kind of suffering too.
Although they may not show this in the way that you do.
Can you care?
Can you dare to be aware...
Of others living through some kind of suffering too.
Although they may not show this in the way that you do.
Can you care?
Can you dare?
Can you...
Show you are aware?
And...
How can you prove that you do?
And...
What would the proving this do?
And...
Do you know who you would choose?
To...
Find your caring is approved?
