Speechless

I am speechless.

All the bullshitting and lies 

from our government.

OUR government.

They say that they are protecting us.

That's not what I see,

"Don't believe your eyes."

What the hell?!

Are they so arrogant,

egocentric and oblivious to the fact that people see through their lies and are angry?

It was a pointless death

pointless

I saw what I saw.

heard what you said.

They don't match.

I don't believe my ears

but I do believe my eyes.

I am mad,

sad,

angry,

appalled.

I am speechless.

    all trying to get through our day.

    All of the noise of life becomes too much and I need to take a break.

    I need to turn my ears off.
