Bob Lucky
Apathy
We switch channels but it’s always the same war. Bored with suffering, tired of the innocent dying along with a few bad guys, the widows and widowed and orphans wandering in search of what might be left of love, having sacrificed everything but life for a safer world in which they’ll never get to live, we have another glass of chilled wine and pretend we’re civilized, watch video clips of people doing stupid things and somehow surviving, even laughing.
