Hypocrisy

Hypocrisy

A Poem by Jeff

3 Americans died

Tragic in itself

A nation enraged

Looking for blood


The same day

Hundreds of people died

In a country called Iraq

No one cared


On a daily basis

Hundreds are killed in Syria

No one cares

You never hear a word


Where's the outrage

When it happens somewhere else

Where's the demand for justice

When it happens to someone else

Your words are very poignant and thought-provoking sir. Indeed, there is a lot of disparity and imbalance. We often don't see and weigh things in the right perspective.

A very profound and touching write! Thanks.
