Nothing To Turn Off

NOTHING TO TURN OFF Crashing red lights having already entered my brain, Insisting to stay no matter how much thoughts do complain. Prancing white apologists entwined with remorseless killers, Muttering useless explanations of a cause so very long dead. Watching assassination of spirits while minds are orphaned, Living forever alone surrounded by nothing that cares. Switching globes yet still finding blindly looking glares, Flying shadows spinning their evil webs of desolation. Sickening images vomiting those deaths of innocent ones, Escaping only from weary television eyes too tired to see. Facing little evacuation because they are not responsible, Laughing at foreign faces dealing with distant problems. Climbing but really falling from cliffs of accountability, Dying long before last breath taken so sadly for granted. Executing that power held firmly in grasp for centuries, Terminating millions of lives without a care for the future. RWG
