RE: POETRY | DAY 27 | Suburban Nightmare (Headlines #1)
powerful poem, especially considering the context nowadays. i really love that last line. I feel that is the attitude of so many people these days, for better or worse. A thing might be terrible, but they won't seek action so long as it doesn't directly affect them. Thanks for sharing!
It's like we have been slowly trained to turn a blind eye, but this story rattled me significantly. I can't fathom the attitude of those who would seek to behave in this manner, especially whilst telling themselves it was completely justified. This poem was my small attempt at saying that I do not support this type of behaviour, although it leaves me feeling like I haven't done enough.
