dateline murders

becoming part of the problem
not the solution
to use fear to change the agenda
and the way we all
look at life
moving away from violence
not in this culture
two sides to every tale
the television laments
on the awful nature
but their regular programming
contradicts this every other night
society and a culture of fear
will not defend any murderers
dateline wonders why
and then blames guns
and the accessibility to them
without mentioning any other factors
maybe they did
maybe they studied it all
how can we believe what we
are told on the same channel
where watching violence
every night is still an option…
