Here is the News

Here is the news 

today, 

the planets burning 

fires and war, 

we are too steeped 

in fantasy, 

being internet 

connected,

we don’t care 

anymore, 

Keep looking away, 

I say,

Keep looking away.

The real world’s 

crying, 

in tears 

of sky 

and acid rain, 

killing this haven 

of life, 

once gone, 

Mother Earth 

wont keep,

coming back again. 

Keep looking away, 

I say

keep looking away.

The oil fires 

are raging, 

we’re battling 

over lies 

and truths, 

waving our flags 

over graveyards, 

craters of violence, 

the disowned,

abandoned, 

the down trodden 

and abused. 

Looking away, 
they say, 
keep looking away.

We’re addicted 

to power,

ideas, 

cultures and crimes, 

hidden from humanity, tricked 

by our streaming consciences, 

loyalty to politics, 

beliefs and values, 

in the countries 

of the blind.

Looking away, 

they say, 

keep looking away.

Yet still the sun rises, 

the birds migrate 

at the season’s end,  

the months turn under starlight, 

distances, death, 

time and more, 

but eternity 

won’t forgive us 

it’s far too late

Looking away, 

they say, 

keep looking away.
