Apoplexatic

Let’s just do away with the notion that we give two shits about the well being of our fellow human. We are well beyond the point of “put up or shut up” and now reside squarely in the dominion of denial. Atrocities continue to pile up at the alter of power with increasing frequency while our collective disgust dwindles inversely.

Cries of sadness and demands for change might as well be whimpers of submission. Our tails are between collective legs while heads are buried deep in sand of rationalization. Ignorance and indifference are tantamount to cold blooded murder with the gun powder residue staining fingers we stick in our ears and the hands that cover our eyes and mouths.

Eventually, even the finger-pointers, blame-shifters and thoughts and prayer merchants will run out of platitudes leaving the rest of us to impotently scratch our heads until the next horror befalls us. Until then let’s drop the pretense and face facts: this is our freshly made bed of apathy and we might as well just lie in it.
