Poem -
In the News
It is not evil bringing an apocalypse
apathy of mankind the undoing
We watch, we read
return back to the cocoon of our lives
on a t.v. screen-- Armani suits and smart smiles
And for today's headlines;
In Kabul 90 killed including woman and children
400 injured in a case of suicide bombing
"Oh those poor people
dude change the channel
the game starts in five minutes"
The End.

This poem speaks volumes of the priority of so many peoples lives. It is short and simple yet packs a huge punch. No one watches the news anymore. I would if I could but I had to cancel my tv subscription but I constantly watch it online. It pains me when people are more concerned over catching their favorite show or watch some game when they need to become aware of what is really happening around them. My heart is so soft and the only time I have to change what I'm doing is when I'm about to lose it. This is an amazing write. Truly amazing. Pinned and all stars. I could discuss this all day that is how strongly I feel about it. Where I work we actually constantly have conversations about the shit happening in the world and it takes us forever to get out of the sadness of it all.
