There’s a war
raging
All around us
But we are
Unaware
of it
Immune
to it
Because we don’t even
acknowledge it.
Our privilege
Supersedes
Our ability to fall that
“low”
Our social conventions
Forbid us
To be that
“depressing”
We’re creating a bunch of “citizens” with tools
to eradicate
these issues
but not armed
with the
sympathy
to do so.
