Why do I?



Trying to Answer the Question I Keep Getting Asked by Me


As I opt to break away
from the group
(children/mice/whatever)
following the alluring call
of the Pied (Papal) Piper
why do I spend any (so much) time
trying to awaken/free
the others (children/mice/whatever)
ensnared by the Piper’s alluring call to obey and follow
and/or
trying to get the PPP
to play a tune
that does not lead
the children/mice/whatever
astray (away from home)
and instead
play a tune
which frees them
or maybe even
entertains/enlivens/enriches
the children/mice/whatever
when all along
I know
the PPP
may ne’er change his tune
and
some of those
enraptured by it
really wish
no other music?

So many others/friends/family
could not care less
about the Pied Papal Piper’s tune
and those entrapped by it
or
keep obeying and following
concluding
I’m tone deaf.

You?
