Look ma!--another bomb went off
by @jeffrey-robin
So shameless!
Writing flippant verse
About severed body parts
And unimaginable suffering!
--
What an ass I am !
--
No
Respect!
--
For the victims!
For their families!
----
--
But wait
--
If you can't imagine the unimaginable suffering
You can't feel it!
And
Believe me
SOMEONE IS LAUGHING!
--
I think the disrespect is in the ACT OF SLAUGHTER
Not the reminder
---
The BOMB
(The ONE bomb)
Went off a long long time ago!
--
When we stopped caring for one another
when we stopped truly loving one another
When we ARMED OURSELVES
with
CALLOUSNESS
with
CYNICISM
with
GREEDINESS DISQUISED WITH WORDS SUCH AS PROSPERITY!
(And , of course
with
GUNS!)
--
So
--
OLE MC AMERICA HAD A BLAST!
(Eyi eyi oh)
AN OLDIE BUT GOODIE FROM THE PAST!
(Eyi eyi oh)
Here a corpse there a corpse
And a neighborhood full of body parts!
(OR IS THIS JUST AN ANALOGY OF OUR SCHOOLS
AND THE WAY WE TREAT THE WORLD'S CHILDREN?)
OLE MC AMERICA AND ITS FARCE
(Eyi eyi oh)
------
One gigantic
WAKE UP CALL!
If you don't wake up?
THE JOKE'S ON YOU
DONT BLAME ME
