Cynicism With a Capital Sin

Cynicism with a Capital Sin. Nothing breaking in the news today just reruns of another school shooting and gay/gun rights. Black lives matter but Death knows no prejudice. Gun control? I thought it was people who killed people. Murder has become some sort of fad every one wants a pair. And as always I am out of style. I never thought I'd see the day when the world would fiend for hope like it was dope. "Hey Man, you know where I can score some positivity?" I was even incarcerated for not committing a crime. Kindness: If found guilty. 1 year plus fines and court cost. Helpfulness: 25 to life. Humanity: Punishable by death. This man killed a classroom full of kids. Where's police brutality when you need it? It's funny how advanced we are in our primitivity. Yes you can buy a scope with the crucifixion of Christ as your cross hairs. One day tragedy will be so common that happiness will make the headlines. It's so subtle that you'll never notice the world is spinning backwards.
