cloud of pain

i often wonder how are we supposed to live normally
when we know that on the other side of the world people are being bombed shot and killed
and half way across the other side of the world people are dying from starvation
children are being trained to kill people
i know the answer,
we let it be in the background
we read the headlines
read the international news
watch the tv news
radio news
listen to experts.. what is going to stop it. do they all get killed... can't work because the war is bred into the new generation.
do they know it.. do they wonder about life without it..
it's their pain, but it's our pain
it's creating a huge cloud of pain that envelops the whole of humanity

the tune of a faroff explosion

Cream white beige float drift fly soft gentle pliable
were the only qualities she desired
but then she met her alter ego on the stairs and everything changed
red blood heart run fall wrestle tough rough rumble
to the tune of a faroff explosion
suns colliding don't make a noise for light years
shockwaves oceanwaves soundwaves
locking in time with her beating heart
she found the truth
