Give Us This Day Our Daily

Give us this day our daily… I do not even have to move my bottom much remote control in hand I choose what they call news just the old stuff in new wrappers blown apart by endless bombing greed retaliation grief Every day the same old truths on the channels depicting the flow charts of so called humanity Monday to Saturday a madman madwoman suicide bomber axe wielding crazy Neonazi ISIS fighter not so Godly fundamentalist young High School Student freedom fighter martyr is inflicting blood torn limbs tears fear and anger every day another figure death toll statistic life I watch the news on Sunday yet again and some thing is missing no new explosion not even a rerun on the screen of lives shattered meaning little some no doubt more equal than others in demise It hits me like a flash that just for today there is no report of new fatalities and my world of routine crumbles and exposes the missing disaster the void Hey but then 'reassurance' creeps in from the depth of the mind that even this minute bodies are shred torn to bits in Aleppo and Bagdadh Kabul Bujumbura for one dogma or other some deflection or gain Order is restored nothing from Munich or Paris from Brussels or Chicago the pinnacles of Western Northern creation not much from the grey zone of othering either like Ankara Istanbul Nairobi and Dar Es Salaam where frequencies of dying seem to ring another lonely pitch Some news is not worth mentioning I suppose as there is overload of evil and of reports that numb and dissect the borders of power the right from the wrong And yet something was wrong this Sunday on the news but who is to say what is correct and what is at fault… 31st July 2016 and every day
