Channel Surfing Lives

Contributed by dragondaughter on Wednesday, 12th January 2005 @ 10:41:32 PM in AEST
Topic: AngryPoetry

We sit and stare at the flickering TV screen
Mass destruction, mounds of bodies, thank god it isnt me

Selfish thoughts run through our brains
Self-preservation is all the rage
Why cant we start a new golden age?
Why cant we let go of this bright stage?

We could reach out to those in need
Reaching out instead of watching them bleed
Why cant we plant a selfless seed?
Of love and trust instead of greed

Flick through the channels theres nothing on
See the News and hear their tortured song
Just keep on going theres nothing wrong
Just turn a blind eye all your life long

I cant change the world with a single view
Im selfish and lost just like you
Does it matter if we save a selective few?
What makes them less than me or you?

Destroy them all its black or white
There is no gray in this endless fight
Theyre wrong and were always right
Too bad we lost the perpetual light
Souls in darkness deep as night

Take the remote and flick once more
Thats all it takes to ignore
The apocalypse we have for you in store
If we close our eyes we cant see the gore

If we look away the picture changes
Never stare too close you might recognize their faces
