Disconnection is an infection
Grief and disbelief
Lack of empathy
A like is the level of compassion
Online
We move on
So quickly
Forgetting the victims
The story
Instantly
The sound bite, the headline
Becomes the story
Gets the rating, the tune-in
The perpetrator is the celebrity
Because the media make them be
That’s where the money is
The sensationalism
The clicks
The infamy

Discoverist, writing of life, love, obstacles, change & other things. Problems are my catnip and troubleshooting my fuel. My accidental poetry keeps me sane.
