Inattentive Sky

Inattentive Sky

 

 

You’re whining at an inattentive sky—
But shout defiance and you’ll win a hearing.
The powers do not even wonder why
You’re whining at an inattentive sky.
They smile because they know their rules apply.
They often find inept complaint endearing.
You’re whining at an inattentive sky.
But shout defiance and you’ll win a hearing.
