Desensitised

Desensitised

"Here we go again" I say as I sit and watch the news,
Always projecting the worst case and other people's views,
Everything from suicide bombers, to another celebrity death,
I think I am getting desensitised, I now say under my breath.

Although very tragic the current news, it has now become the norm,
Mass casualties from Europe, and in places that are too warm,
I switch on the TV everyday, is tomorrow the day of world's end?, 
Because they are throwing missiles around, and someone's been condemned.

Do we really know what's going on from what our TV's feed,
Somebody will always die today, and someone will always need,
Leaders work on their own agenda, making us all terrified,
Feeding people to follow them, propaganda is now justified.

Ask yourself when you see this world, are they really telling the truth,
Research in histories background, turn yourself into a sleuth,
Who angers who when they do that, and why it has come to this,
Eliminate the propaganda for yourself, there's something quite amiss.

Yes, Glen, the TV is full of a lot of negative stimuli.  Where have shows like Little House on the Prairie and The Waltons gone, even Leave it to Beaver?  Everyone immersed in electronics and violent games as well.  The new norm is disheartening...  Blessings!*!*!
