Vapid celebrities
Filling the news
Bouncy outlandish personalities
Living life not really seeing
The world but only the trappings
Of the rich and famous
Not the adjoining
Neighbourhoods that are poor
Now facing reality
When they are targeted
By those who are bad
Poor or indifferent
Wake-up calls can be
Good
But what a terrible price
Leftover PTSD occurs

So true. It's interesting - when I saw the words to use this week I thought 'Mmm tricky' yet in the end a lot of us have followed similar themes.
ReplyDeleteGood use of the prompts.
ReplyDeleteThe rich are indifferent and the poor are in deprivation. Ingredients for conflicts need just some little sparks to start a conflagration!
