PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

breaking news.
ten teenagers held hostage at gunpoint.
7 dead, a billion injured.
some kid's gone mad again.
watch tv, we'll teach you fear...
anger and shame
desperate for something to blame
social media, bullying, angry music, drugs

all of the above
(lack of love)
sensory overload
stare at your phone
so you don't have to think
about the fact that everyone's staring at screens
and no one can see
when darkness is blinding and light is discreet.
society turned on God for the sleek
fast cars and money and cum-stained sheets.
the truth's like a pill
and your pride's the disease.
