Ignorance Unnoticed

Time seems to slip away,
The moments pass us by...
So much taken for granted,
So much based on lies...
There is always an opinion,
A thought that can be shared...
But are we simply speaking,
Or do we really care?
Surround ourselves with people
Pretend they are our friends,
Do we really notice
When time with them just ends?
So much is forgotten,
Do we ever wonder why?
Do we ever stop to think
Just who we've caused to cry?
We influence so many,
Our effect on them is great,
But will we ever notice,
Before it's much too late?
