"Nobody's perfect well there was this one guy but we killed him" -From "Lamb" by Christopher Moore


We cry tears of false pity as we watch sad documentaries
Laughing mere minutes after seeing what life really is
Enveloped in our own simulated
reality
Our once valient thoughts of helping those in need shattered as soon as the screen becomes dark Few help while we watch, many die while we sit
Dont fret youll forget all to soon
Any remorse you feel now will be dismissed from your mind
minutes
after
reading
this
poem

I watched a documentary about child soldiers today. I noticed ones who had teared up easily distracted themselves with other menial subjects as soon as it ended. It made me think who of us actually care.
