Siege

 

What siege of our minds is this?

Fear infused with every megabyte of information

transmitted over every device imaginable

because we need to be connected to the surreal of our lives

 

Barriers block our logic

Our emotions cordoned off from our hearts

with yellow ribbons directing us to

“Do Not Cross”

might as well be bloody red

confirming our reality

“We Cannot Live in Peace”

Cause craziness prevails

 

Our ability to understand restricted

Check points drain our energy

Lives changed forever

childhood lost.

 

What siege of our minds is this?
