Media turning our heads away,
from the needy and the stray;
Disregarding the bottom of the food chain,
heed is paid only to political play.
====
So consumed with the wrong things,
The trivial debates, the latest flings;
While crimson red paints the streets,
an innocent suffering, a muffled screech.
====
Looking down and looking away,
two faces of the same coin;
They'd rather let the haggards sway,
than let the bare-bones and the brawny enjoin.
====
Making a racket, raising your voice,
are not much of a muchness;
Uplifting the alley residents?
Serenity will bloom with abruptness.
