In The End Who Cares?

In the end who cares? And who is going to care? It is nice to pretend and imagine That some strangers somewhere Will sing your literary praises But in truth What will be is clear now Very few will care As very few care now And it is only those few family members You have truly cared about and loved Only a few Will care And that is not strange And that is the way it is for many perhaps even for most A few only a few will care When you are not even pain or illness or helplessness anymore When you are gone forever A few if a few Only those few They and they alone Will care Until they can't care too And then nobody will care And that's the way it will be forever And that's it Down the line At the end of the end of it No one will care But you won't know about it either So don't worry No one will care That no one cares So forget about the caring And get on with whatever you are getting on with for now And don't care about the caring Or if you have to- Care if you want Either way it doesn't matter anyway.
