too hard to watch

it's hard to watch,
the commercials for the injured,
the lost,
the homeless,
whether
human or dog.
the arms
and legs not right.
the eyes
gone blind,
the body broken,
diseased.
mental illness.
it plays with your heart,
you either
give in
or turn away.
it's too much.
too much to know what
shape
the world is really in.
we want happy.
we want
laughs.
we don't want this.
please change the channel.
let's pretend that horrors
don't exist.
