Why Not Spare Time


Why do we not spare time for insanity?

Why do we not spare time for wonder?

Why do we not spare time for reverence?

Why do we spare time for indifference?

Callusnes?

Ignorance?

Why do we not spare time for silliness?

Why do we spare time for time for idleness?

Why do we spare time for conformity?

We give our time too people who aren't worth it,

things that aren't worth it, and thoughts that aren't worth it.

Why do we do this?

Because we’re people, and people do stupid things.

Why not spare time for compassion?

Why not spare time for humanity?

Acceptance?

Appreciation?

Acclaim?

We’re too busy.
