Does it Really Matter

Our minds are filled with so much information.
Our time is filled with dreams we must pursue.
We spend each waking moment going somewhere.
It seems there’s always something left to do…

But does it really matter if people go on living,
and does it really matter if planets go on spinning.
The world is full of wonder, things tiny great and small,
but does it really matter at all?

if you and I were strangers and our paths had never crossed,
you think we’d care about it or feel a sense of loss…
