Hushed and Buffered

Another tragedy!
And yet another day...
To excuse this foolishness.
As a society continues...
To delude itself.
With the acceptance of its sick business.

And the older the victims...
The younger are those exposing,
They suffer...
From serious mental illnesses.
As an ignorance demented,
Wishes to keep hushed and buffered.

'Where have we gone wrong? '

~Maybe...
An unwillingness to listen.
Or comprehend what has been heard.
Maybe...
The ease upon which you inflict restrictions.
As you do as you please with the branding of the herd.
Maybe...
It is just your incompetence to lead,
With a feeding of this that bleeds...
With a succeeding of your greed.
Maybe...
It is just 'you' wanting others to obey,
Your way of following darkness.

Who knows...
But,
There you are.
You will find several choices from which you can pick.

Although I would not delay in hesitation.
Time is not on your side,
For a self examination...
That should have been implemented,
The moment these disturbances...
Arrived for a permanent visit.~
