Fair Carelessness
Carelessness,
Something I've read about
In a magazine,
In a journal of medicine
For fever and rapid heart.
For the younger set,
Giving life a start.
All the pain in dissent,
All the freedom to climb.
A thousand wishes I've missed,
For hanging onto this.
When a moment brings
Hope for everything,
Every time I walk away from this.
Will the One who came to throw it all away
Ever get to see the end of this?
Carelessness is something I recognize
When you're fast asleep,
And I'm in the right.
Taking in everything you ignore,
My abrasiveness and your angel-core.
More minutes of life
Put away, set aside,
Ever following things that I won't find.
Won't you climb high
And shower some correction on me?
Don't dare disguise.
Your colorful predictions are clear.
