They see it as win-win — / as either an ungodly outrage / or a damn diversion; / either way works.
The apparent intent, of course, / is that we get used to it / and tune it out / so that we don’t explode —
And not just our heads; / it’s also our hearts / and our very souls / that suffer from their lies and greed.
You know, don’t you, / that the opposing side has already won / just by nudging us / into paying heed.
No matter how ignorant / their words may be, / they win because we can’t ignore / their egregious deeds.
