Full Attention

the eyes are mesmerized
they stare and stare
to look and to see...
	the ears hear
the oncoming sounds
drumming into your pores

filling your minds with trash
	the dumpster is full,
but indulging in more
as volume is 
all the way up

seeing and hearing
murdering, killing,
disasters, tragedies,
catasrophies, outrages,
fights, guns,
war, stupidity,drugs

do you blame your mind for how
it acts,

or are you taught how?
