Compassion TV

Yesterday they were probably sitting just like me

Legs draped over the arm of an easy chair

Wondering where the hell the remote was

Bathed in mind-numbing mindlessness
And whitewashed in fatigue

Not even boredom sits still anymore

Today a million glazed eyes are steadfast upon hypocrisy -
Who can tell the difference between good and bad?
Morality is a personal concept

Watch the true face of war stain the streets red

Don't avert our eyes to the play of the righteous

The compassion of carnage starts on channel 24

 

How there's any blood left for hearts to bleed peace

God only knows

God only knows

The 5000 people who died today


(...from my '03 vault of poetry... just seemed fitting)
