Before Blake

A Poem by John Alexander McFadyen
"

How easily we forget.

A hail of bullets

dominates the headline news,

Floyd now forgotten.

How short our memories become
It is no longer new news and it is all about 'new' news

Yes. Its the way of modern press. Instant newsworthy headline grabbing gratification.....then on to the next thing. It's a cycle that will just keep continuing.

Who were the ones before Floyd?

I was actually have same thought several days. One of the reason is there was so much shooting and kill on the streets. Basically nothing change is more cosmetic changes then real changes. Tension is growing here it's almost feel like will soon to erupt to violent conflict. This society need healing but we got more bullets and more names. Thanks for reminds us why people are still down there on the streets.
