That's Entertainment

Bodies with the wind knocked out of them, deliberately, there on the news.
Not much detail about their last breaths but you get an idea
when you read between the hues.
Its edited , and then comes the panacea---

Practical jingoism for practically idiots -- emitting at about the same frequency as the latest security technology,
As reported by a media run by mean meaning mercenaries.
Getting off their jollies hyping this and that folly,
paid for by commercials selling how to have a nice life just like a bowl of cherries.


Consider: no one wants to experience pain, beyond a certain percentage point.
And so the power struggles for preferred places with pleasant surroundings and a place as big as where the buffalo used to roam
Suffering is diced up into the soup and served in bowls,
the recipients required to sit and watch videos on how to repent,
Sometimes at at gunpoint.
And honor the insights of ancient Rome.

That's entertainment
One of the tactics of containment.
