filaments of violence just like fungi permeate the world
unseen by many; the innocent bleed under clear blue skies
trees dissappear overnight leaving unfertile earth exposed
water trickles unnoticed through toxic wastes of the priviledged

hope withers silently as hate thrives within worlds we covet
silent screams echo through the emptiness of space whithin many;
heard but ignored to protect the nagging concience we suppress
practiced over centuries to isolate the select few that survive

memories change to palatable images within our complex minds
denial is our protector that helps us be blind to suffering
distance is the safety net to numb the feelings of compassion
avoid the tragedies of violence to remain blissfully ignorant

real or imagined facets hide behind open eyes of mistrust
clear human voices immortalize negative ideations of the future
common sense has sought labyrinths of reasoning; convolution
persistant pain chips away the veneer of civilisation we project

nice write

vivid and revealing

thank you too

i know it's not a writing workshop, but i find poems with the "we"in them to seem bombastic, and almost fascist. not that i'm calling your poem fascist,just the feeling that i am part of "we" and so all this is mine, not just yours. and i guess, since i'm human, it's true. i just wanted to see some "i"s or "you"s in place of the we. it personalizes the poem more, for me.
thanks

thanks for the comments anyway
