You Watched It Live

--You Watched It Live--

Ever notice the colorful tones of the structures shift? The screams of the suffering and the cackle of the employers quit.

The childrens ball that was rolling appears to be still, while the gust from a bomb the air it does fill.

While they plead and beg through broken lines, the television raster lapses that no man left behind.

There is a lesson in the chaos as it’s streamed to your eyes, a cynical ease that leaves the viewers blind.

What will be left when there is no more of their kind?

A gesuture of acknowledgement or a simple wave good-bye?

And all the while, you watched it live.
