Ain't It A Shame

by douglasbalmain

Ain't it a shame that we— Nature's Human— can't bring ourselves to care. Can't bring ourselves to care about our collective actions nor allowances... not until they reach us, as individuals, not until they fuck with our own individual day. Can't bring ourselves to care, not until our own feelings are hurt, until our own bellies ache, until we can make it about ourselves, until it's too late. Ain't it a shame.
