"dairy" poems - Hello Poetry

I don’t care, That you don’t care, About caring about What I care for. And you know what? I don’t care that You won’t care for the only thing that I really care for. What if I care about cake? Would you not care about cake? Would you not care ABOUT CAKE? You care about cake, of course you do. I can see it in your eyes and by that tell tale dribble at your mouth. Cake is something that will make your legs quake with butter cream goodness. A good cake baked, makes you proud to be a cake baking citizen in a country that will let you bake cake. So what if I care about democracy. Would you not care about democracy? Would you let people live in fear of the **** of a gun, Would you care that there are those who are on the run from tyranny and violence who know pain and loss, that you could only wake up from, in a cold sweat? As you turn and toss in your memory foam bed. There is more happening on this Earth Then cake. There are greater causes than choosing between Thortons Double Chocolate Celebration and that traditional Victoria Sponge your Mother-in-law won in a raffle last week. The struggle humanity faces, is to live in harmony with each other. It cannot be resolved with cake. You cannot bring democracy to a country with cake. Or can we? What if we swapped, Non radar detectable aircraft For dairy delectable foodcraft, What if we swapped 12inch shells for 12 thousand babybels? What if we stole RPGs and gave back MSG’s (they’re less harmful in the long run, if thrown at you). What if, for once, everyone cared. And then we’d get somewhere. Every voice in every home Would not be a voice alone, And for once, we’d all agree about the fact we like cake and democracy for all.

Cake and Democracy

I don’t care, That you don’t care, About caring about What I care for. And you know what? I don’t care that You won’t care for the only thing that I really care for. What if I care about cake? Would you not care about cake? Would you not care ABOUT CAKE? You care about cake, of course you do. I can see it in your eyes and by that tell tale dribble at your mouth. Cake is something that will make your legs quake with butter cream goodness. A good cake baked, makes you proud to be a cake baking citizen in a country that will let you bake cake. So what if I care about democracy. Would you not care about democracy? Would you let people live in fear of the **** of a gun, Would you care that there are those who are on the run from tyranny and violence who know pain and loss, that you could only wake up from, in a cold sweat? As you turn and toss in your memory foam bed. There is more happening on this Earth Then cake. There are greater causes than choosing between Thortons Double Chocolate Celebration and that traditional Victoria Sponge your Mother-in-law won in a raffle last week. The struggle humanity faces, is to live in harmony with each other. It cannot be resolved with cake. You cannot bring democracy to a country with cake. Or can we? What if we swapped, Non radar detectable aircraft For dairy delectable foodcraft, What if we swapped 12inch shells for 12 thousand babybels? What if we stole RPGs and gave back MSG’s (they’re less harmful in the long run, if thrown at you). What if, for once, everyone cared. And then we’d get somewhere.
