Brutal Truth

Should we view images of death and evil in the media? Brutal truth; how dare you burn our eyes How dare you mark our quiet hearts with pain Our gentle ears are deafened with your cries Our worlds will never be the same again Brutal truth; without you we deny Ourselves, our fear, the part we have to play So shine your fierce searchlight from the sky Force in to form the shadows of the day Brutal truth; unchain our memory And rend the veil that shrouds a lie from sight The evolution of humanity Is in your hands; stir us to flight or fight To know ourselves and know our enemy Shifting deserts, oceans flowing free by Gail
