take responsibility

March 12th, 2013 § 2 comments

Poem #58 for Gift Poem from Matthew "Paesano" LaBanca

 

Don’t become numb

to the violence

Do not look

at the television

We have already evolved from the Wild West

for a reason

Let us not go back

The news is not a movie

the carnage is real

The twenty-four hour loop

is of someone’s son

The analysis

is of a husband’s wife

 

It is all too much to handle

and it should be

Your depression and anxiety

is a blessing

Because the slaughters have become entertaining

Entertainment makes money

And…

 

Stop looking

Put away your presumptions

One question has many answers

and you

alone

are responsible

 

…a massacre, these days, demands top dollar

 

 

 

 

af

 

 

 

 

(written with pen on paper)
