the back page war

as the war
drags on, the news puts
it on
the back page,
a small blurb with stats.
so many wounded,
so many dead.
there are fewer and fewer
pictures,
or editorials.
it's old news now.
the protests have died
down,
kids have returned to school,
the world is weary
and wants
things back
to normal.
if we look the other, maybe
that will be true.
