[hometext] => TV is such a big part of our lives...for better or worse it's changing us. Little by little...
[bodytext] => We sit and stare at the flickering TV screen Mass destruction, mounds of bodies, thank god it isn’t me… Selfish thoughts run through our brains Self-preservation is all the rage Why can’t we start a new golden age? Why can’t we let go of this bright stage? We could reach out to those in need Reaching out instead of watching them bleed Why can’t we plant a selfless seed? Of love and trust instead of greed Flick through the channels there’s nothing on See the News and hear their tortured song Just keep on going there’s nothing wrong Just turn a blind eye all your life long I can’t change the world with a single view I’m 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 it’s black or white There is no gray in this endless fight They’re wrong and we’re always right Too bad we lost the perpetual light Souls in darkness deep as night Take the remote and flick once more That’s all it takes to ignore The apocalypse we have for you in store If we close our eyes we can’t see the gore If we look away the picture changes Never stare too close you might recognize their faces [comments] => 0 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 6 [informant] => dragondaughter [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => AngryPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
