So Deeply Shallow
We all are stare as those rosy lips
Announce the daily news
With perfect blandness painted on
The direst of views
We tell ourselves this artifice
of unaffected calm
Is to protect the sensitive
With palliative balm
But really we are moved to this
Affect-less lack of heft
Because we know no other way:
We have no feelings left.

Hmm.. I shall have to go back and read this again.. c
Don’t worry, this is not a timed test! 🙂
I hope we have some feelings left – but I do worry that daily news diet of dire happenings can desensitizes us.
Indeed, just my thought.
I don’t watch the TV news anymore. I just check the internet in the morning in case World War 3 has started.
I’ve kind of gotten to the point where if there IS a morning I’m going to assume WW3 hasn’t started and leave it at that!
