[hometext] => This poem's about how wrapped up we are in our daily lives to remember the problems going on in the world. We watch about things on the news, but then forget about them as soon as we turn the TV off
[bodytext] => Watching these people on our TV screens, Individuals dying, from water unclean So little to eat, people starving to death Struggling to take each and every breath Watching in colour on our TV screens, Conflicts all over, no one intervenes Soldiers dying from the constant war Watching, but still, we seem to ignore Watching in colour on our TV screens, Natural disasters, changing the world so green Houses and lives destroyed by hurricanes Bringing much sorrow, causing much pain Watching these people on our TV screens Then retreating back, to our daily routines Switching off from this life outside This consumerist world too pre-occupied [comments] => 2 [counter] => 164 [topic] => 32 [informant] => starlight_dancer [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )
