easy listening

your ignorance is that last rung of the ladder you hold onto, swinging--- before dropping out beyond the pale.

when screams of children being bombed &

women being raped to the sounding drumbeat of war,

some trip over their feet to turn the knob

to click the clicker, change the channel

to

run

run

run away

from the real tragedy spitting back in your face

because the modern conveniences that make your life

cushy

are the same fueling the masquerade that’s destroying lives & killing others

all across the world---

there is no system of checks n’ balances---

the figures of the dead are only accounted for by the winners for the

winners,

and history will have no place for you if you need something that

they are not willing to concede.

 

for some this is all just easy listening

for some this is all what they run to their cabinet in their kitchen to get the

cleaning fluid to

squeegee the screen

try to make the blood go away

try to make the screams pass on and leave them the rest of their day.
