[hometext] => Just a poem about my reaction to the tsunami
[bodytext] => Thousands and thousands dead and my tragedy is that I could care less, If I am honest, My sensitivity eroded to a stub, I watch pictures on the news and wonder, When will Tom Cruise save these poor, poor people? My A.D.D. kicks in, I turn the channel, Tom Cruise is there selling Pepsi, He’s such a nice man, 100,000 wiped out, It doesn’t sink in, How can it? Celluloid numb, MTV dumb, Television is the Lithium of the soul, I catch my self putting salt in my tea, That was my last tea bag This provokes reaction more than anything prior, ***** off I slam my cup into the sink, No sense of perspective I know, I am not arrogant enough to relate to true calamity, It’s the small stuff that gets me.
