To matter or not to.

In this dark world of war and fear
we squabble over fashion.

In this world of politics, conspiracies and death

we laugh about cricket.

In this world of poverty and deprivation,

we complain of french fries and pizza.

In this world that's melting away bit by bit

we crib over gelato flavours.

In this world with almost an energy-less tomorrow

we discuss movies and videos with gusto.

There are issues that matter, and there are those that don't. Of course we are to judge for ourselves. No one can tell us what's important for us.

But as a member of this universe, the heart knows. It knows which of them issues are actually issues, and it longs to contribute, to participate, to matter.
