A Reality of Constant Tragedy by Alex Paramo
When people can’t feel their own skin
When they want to see the bones of the perceived sinners..
When fat cats are jiving you into 300% loans
When it feels like 1492
And people don’t agree with you
And they see themselves as gods
At odds
With the scientific methods
And the message in the media is madness
and bucket loads of sadness
How do we mediate
How do I negotiate this for my kid…
And all the people in the streets where you live..
Mortality is on your radar and explosives are like playdoh
And you are on your way home
With a quick meal and some relief that the tragic paradigm of disbelief
Will not fall on your head and
Everything you lived for will come up dead
And the dreams we all had are buried like the bombs did in Baghdad
And the last memory we had
Was saying goodbye to your friends
For how long?
Until the end ..
..the end of humanity in this new reality of constant
Tragedy
