The Body Count Is Rising

The Body Count Is Rising

written by: Tamsen Grace

 

Public service announcement…
we are living in a dystopian world,
didn’t you see the signs?

Chaos created,
mothers weep,
casualties of a war
fought within your self…
the body count is rising

Plague of propaganda
pollutes minds,
war of words,
choose sides

brother vs brother
segregation, alienation,
evidence of division…
the body count is rising

Routine rhetoric,
teach children the norm,
no deviation
to social orders,
no living outside the box,
fit in or perform…

or be bullied to conform

Don’t you see the signs…
the body count is rising
