voiceless vigilance

EBOLA, ISIS, and Obama's drones,
Have diverted our gazes
From war torn homes.

News anchors have angles
And ratings rule,
Storylines are sexy
Unbiased go mute
Objectivity replaced
But ratings and views.

While Assad and Putin wipe villages clean,
Mass graves spring from houses,
Toy planes hit M16s,
Kids raised by slaughter, grow
Into precocious news streams.
