Ignorant Indifference

High tech miles from the target
Commands through radio links
Nothing else that matters
Just to cause casualties

War-lords of the great powers
Are always seekings for
The recent and more dreadful weapons
Of mass destruction

We are too indifferent to count
The nameless victims on TV
The screen is unable to transmit the pain
Of the loss of a member of the family
Lose your son or lose your father
Lose a friend or lose your lover
Survivors overwhelmed by sorrow
Surround the mass graves

Wide screens in front of you
To control the pain you give rise to.
