The Victim

I do not care for wealth,

     I do not care for fame;

I do not care for those

     Who have lots of the same.

I do not care for looks,

     I do not care for clothes;

I do not care for joys,

     I do not care for woes.

I do not care for sounds,

     I do not care for sights;

I do not care for days,

     Nor do I care for nights.

I don’t care for despair,

     I do not care for hope;

I simply do not care

     Because I’m in a dope.
