Disturbing images
dance across
my cynical eyes daily
All these flat screen tragedies
Persistent global calamities intrude
A steady stream of troubled guests
in my living room
After decades of pain saturation
the cruelties on parade
no longer register with me
I've developed disaster immunity
from the horrors
that befall humanity
I reside inside
my steel reinforced bubble
quite unapologetically
These indifferent walls
serve as protection
from our flammable world
I can no longer abide
It's as if none of this is even real
It is television after all
