about things, more than i do now.
but things have changed.
what war?
what protest?
what earthquake,
or flood in some far away
country.
i have compassion
and empathy
for anyone hurt, but for the
most part
there is little we can do
about it.
i heard on the radio that for
a mere five dollar
donation,
you can cure a kid of leprosy
in some village in India.
but i don't have a pen
to take the number down.
and now i feel
guilty. some poor kid is
suffering
with this disease, that i was
too lazy
to do anything about.
this is what happens when you
listen to the radio
or watch tv.
it's all about fear and pain,
disasters, chaos.
