emotion sickness ‘turn the television off’
if I can just keep my senses silent
I need not deal with the cause,
emotion sickness
such a burden for those
who would do just about anything
not to feel,
have you walked these streets?
can you see what’s real?
it’s ok if you don’t want to tell,
it’s easy to see the countries gone to hell,
seldom seen unity, a parallel state
a disease from within preparing to retaliate,
when? where? how?
bureaucracy,
the benchmark of the unelected
a common defence has been neglected
can’t you see we’re all infected,
untruth after untruth,
keeping the spin coming,
we don’t need the proof,
if we can just inject the youth
with a perfectly crafted delusion
then half the war is already won,
everywhere I look there’s a bleakness
a disenfranchised mass of drones
marching forth towards the furnace,
emotion sickness,
the normalisation of actions,
orchestrated distractions
that keep us in collective shock
‘turn the television off’
