~We Turn The Channel~
DU collaboration: kriticool & Raquel...(raorrick)
gutter turned grave
and therein
what lies is a cold & rigid body
he was only twelve.. days? months?
lunar years, solar years
too many
tears
falling
we turn the channel
skeletons with
skin
protruding eyes that
cry out
a dollar a day
they-we’re in a bad way; taking
a lashing...compassion
out of fashion
we turn the channel
surf high
our caring is not
too many mundane distractions
attention span...turned out
turned into
fractions
we turn the channel
not sharing or bearing the fruit or the brunt of
what we could do
each discovery goes un-channeled
why can’t we see
the dishonesty of you & me
we turn the channel
sanity; our humanity
a loss the
un-free
so true
the good in us
the should in us
coming
up
short
we turn the channel
