Snug living room,debate on television,
talking heads accusing,
endless quotes and briefs
about a crisis on the other
side of someone else's world
I only know about because
it's current. Other governments
are guilty of atrocities, but
someone chose this one to
talk about today, and so it's
all we hear. Decisions will
be made and who's to say
that what we do is best solution,
best response for long run that
our children must inherit?
Saul was blinded on Damascus
road; I hope the eyes of those
we trust to keep watch over us
will stay, instead, wide open.
