across the world televisions
on mute broadcast 24 hour
international news, of trouble
far from anywhere it's passing,
passive, viewers ever expect to be.
Party Polticians mouth toothless
soundbites into these transitory
consumer spaces, where people
are somewhere, but aren't really
anywhere, for their constantly
thinking to be somewhere else.
Like the best acts of charity
Democracy starts with
listening, and in the home.
