Blackening Image
Luminescent screen
oh how you constantly shift subtly.
Your shiny frame grows heavier
with every passing picture.
Images appear on repeat
a reminder of the grim we occupy.
Do not desire to witness
cruelty on display, depravity glamorized.
I will let you live
so the others know what happened
Pages copied and pasted,
channels twisting the same story.
What a dull situation;
why glorify what's poised to divide us?
We all see the attack on faith's establishment
so who shall be the ones to prevail?
Can the faith in each other overcome
or shall we be infected by what's cruel
and hateful?
In light of the Charleston church shooting, here's what I have to say about the entire situation.
#hate
