Indifference – A Poem

It isn't all about me.

I get it…
The ocean is too big to care
Her wide mouth swallows shore and time
Waves caress and pummel alike

I get it…
The forest, ancient and deaf
To the screams of fawn and men
Wearing rot like royal raiment

I get it…
The beasts, wild and ravenous
Hunting the tender and the lame
Death holding no remorse

I get it…
Humanity, seizing the scales
Measuring good against ill
Judging what’s neither

All the while, we
Expect God to intercede
Smoothing waves
Opening glades
Taming beast
Caring for us —

I don’t get it.
