Under the Rug (a #poem)

Under the Rug (a #poem)

Death and destruction 
a live insurrection 
A day flies by 
like a bomb in a shelter 
and a man in diapers 
calls in more snipers 
to lay down the lives 
of points of data 
throwing back knives 
while his friends just hate'ya
 
We turn up the music 
'cause don't want to see 
the cynic who's graphic 
while a child becomes a relic 
and they kill another medic
 
The phoenix can't arise 
because the ashes are swept 
under the rug
