Who Hears About That Poem by Leah Ross

The 86 children burnt alive in Nigeria
Among one shouting over the other
This circus of a presidential race
Who hears about that I wonder
Among the be-headings
Heads being paraded through Syrian streets
The toppling of ancient artifacts
That have been there forever
Men being tossed off buildings
For just being gay
Who hears about the 86 burnt alive
When it's not on news channels
Not even on the 10: 00pm news for that matter
Breaking news it is yet we don't hear
Censored everything is sadly
The modern world is bought & paid for
By the government/news outlets
86 Children burnt alive isn't news
Just the new norm in the world today
What's happening in Nigeria matters not
Just look at Darfur
Who hears about that? ? ?
Among violent clashes
People pummeling the other
People screaming kill all Muslims
Not to mention Genocide them all
Hail Nazi Trump salutes
Surprised anyone knows anything
Everything is censored
That's the modern world
What's news isn't news
86 children burnt alive who cares
