Skip to poem
If you care about one
care about them all
Outraged by a single fate
And willing to let the next fall
More people get shot
Than the media cares to share
Because they don't have a story
Where they think anyone will care
Driven by views, money, and clout
When every day I play witness
I wish I could shout
About the losses uncounted
The lives cast out
The names never spoke
Because people might "freak out"
But
"What you don't know won't hurt"
And
"Ignorance is bliss"
As long as it's not someone you will directly miss

back to today
