Picture Perfect
Worry about your latte.
Cry over your hair.
Fret for your cds.
But when it gets to the world,
The wars,
The starving
And hungry,
The dying
And the suffering…
You turn away.

Cry about your make-up.
“Die” over your dress.
Worry about your test.
Forget about others,
The meek and the helpless.
Turn your head from the rainforests,
Tigers,
And whales.
What do they matter
In your picture perfect world?

Never remember the bad,
Always look to the good.
Ignore the killing and the pain.
Well what will you do
When it happens to you?
When you can't turn your head.
When it’s staring into your eyes
And you have to look back.
