Easy Listening

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.
