Can I Please...?
Can I please keep my head in the sand,
and not be informed of every injustice in every land?
It breaks my heart, it makes me cry.
I feel hopeless to help, and think "Why even try?"
Uncountless wars, plain hating each other,
whatever happened to "Love your brother"?
And sisters, too, lest we forget.
Who the hell's gonna throw us a net?
They're taking away our human rights,
and we're all on the net, too distracted to fight.
So can I please keep my head out of sight?
My heart is broken by the human plight.
I wish I had an upbeat way to end this one, but I don't. Not today.

Sometimes there is no upbeat way and letting the pain our heart feels for humanity is necessary to bring to light ... I love your painful poem for it speaks of how I feel too. Thank you
