The world's matrix presses in,
even in the inner sanctum,
and I cry and weep
at the sound of humanity,
doing nothing.
Not enough people know
personally the 5000 souls
who died across the sea
in choking desert plains,
so we continue to
entertain ourselves.
We'd rather twitter,
than lift a finger,
and cry in rage,
at the deaths that
silently heap around us,
because the media
keeps us numb.
News FLASH:
Comic-Con is not just for Geeks,
and show us women,
cover the news,
rather than report it.
200,000 may have died
in Darfur
and they bicker
on how close to the truth
this may be,
yet not even 5,000 U.S soldiers
is enough to stir US.
While the streets
of New Orleans
are still laid to waste,
& racists are put in charge
of Border security,
in Charge of our
Homeland Security.
Homeland,
which was stolen,
murdered and killed for,
the lives of Native Americans
whose blood still
stains our collective hands.
What is it we think we deserve?
Life?
Love?
Clean Water?
Food?
Health care?
at what price?
Who pays it?
Who will we decide
lives or dies?
We are already deciding,
by our lack of actions,
our apathy,
our desire to feel good
by entertainment,
the American Drug of choice...
It takes an enemy
we can see
to unite us,
more often than not,
and distraction keeps us
from what should be
our honor,
to take action
for humanity's sake.
First should be
that we are united
as Human Beings,
not men and women, or
Christian and Muslim...
first always,
there is US,
WE, the People.
All is one.
We are also.
Our collective actions
and inactions affect US all!
We all seek a better world,
and both our
blessing & curse
is that we cannot agree
on what we see as that future.
I wish for us,
so much...
that it is my heart breaking
you hear.
It is my eyes crying,
you feel,
and it is my soul
tearing asunder,
you see.
I only ask that each moment,
you momentarily awaken,
you do something,
act,
to benefit us all,
and make this world a place,
we would be happy to live in.
