hands to ears
the noise is deafening
no one is saying anything
because they are blaming
posturing
profiting
chit chat
why
there are never answers to why
but we still ask
we have to
politicians do nothing
and too much
all too well
everyone will be wrong
because no one can predict
when the lone wolf strikes
the graphics melt our screens
the anchors read drama
the images burn in our minds
for what
a day
a month
and we forget
we always forget
on to the next thing
since there are no answers
i am turning it off
and praying it never happens again
