We are, so we care

This one time, care.

Expected often, marked by tumult

Our fate is our destiny, or contrary, to care.

Apocalypse? Phoenix? We know not

Oh! Kind Hearts, care.

Ignorance? ingenuity? State what you may

Our lives on this earth means to care.

Caring, for us, is to each on its own –

I am an animal and a human that care.

As a bird, fish, snake and monkey,

I fly, I swim, I crawl, I walk, and I care.

Existence is primary preference

Life, a gifted necessity; we miss not to care.

Let us be who we are

For, we are, so we care.
