Does the anger fade?
The passion run out?
The urge to rant?
Rage and shout?
I couldn't hope to guess
But it does seem
That the passion is exponentially less
The further from something you get
A tsunami in Indonesia?
Horrible, tragic, makes me sad.
Let's start an internet fund to help
And cheer ourselves with stories of hippos and turtles
A bombing in Israel?
Jeez, can't those people get along?
We just should cut all of them off
Let them kill each other
Hundreds of civilians killed in raids in Afghanistan
Tut, tut, how tragic.
Ten U.S. soldier casualties in the same time period?
Anger and angst, although not as much as a year ago.
Let something happen on our home soil though?
You'd think the world was coming to an end.
We'll sign away our liberties
And sacrifice our freedoms
To acquire assurances that it will never happen again.
I'm so weary of it.
The hypocrisy
The lies
"All men are created equal"
