Calamity in Totality
once again, my frustration with mainstream media is acting up
Something’s gotta change
Flicking on the tv and all I see is bloody faces
Other disgraceful faces belittling anguish
talking about proportionality when in reality
they’re perpetuating that fallacy
laying down brick walls of misused reason
to shroud the true meaning of humanity and cleaving
empathy with weaponry of slick talking over grieving
for the loss of life
-
The veil is lifting on the truth
Lies told with straight faces to produce
fear while they’re concealing the past
and telling us to “think fast
there is no time to read and rehash
this is immediate and we need to react”
But how can we ignore the blasts
shredding their reality in half
splitting families and hospital staff
destroying everything until it’s ash?
-
Degrading human life
reducing it to some small strife
like thousands haven’t lost their lives
but its okay, since its “self-defence”
Once again here comes proportionality
rationalising morality
mortality
producing fallacies to excuse their brutality
Calamity in totality

I write fiction, poetry and occasional articles about interesting topics.
Finding interesting ways to write a poem or hide messages within them seems to be my main interesting in writing now, and it's been fun

This is great, I was having a discussion with my good friend the other day about exactly this. Well done!
Completely agree! There is nothing in this life worth killing over x
"splitting families and hospital staff" did me in 😣
This hurt my heart so much. I just don't understand and never will understand the need for war.
Well said, Mohammed! I think Anneliese's comment is pretty much on track with my feelings.
Well done, MD... humanity must find other ways than war, and most of us want this. But the media has become a branch of the government and those powers that profit over war💙Anneliese
