Continuous Feed
Ruckus Aquinas
GENRE
Headlines scroll on screens
Tallying the deceased
Posts and death tolls both rising like bodies in water
In one continuous feed
And you can't help but to think
That maybe we don’t need to split atoms
To assure mutual destruction
Each wrong hateful lie
Getting thousands of likes
You say that it's harmless; telling it like it is
When it's what you’d like it to be
Cause the truth's too ugly to see
So you go on playing with your toys
But it's not play-acting Hatfields and McCoys
And you blame everything
Well - except for the thing
What's at fault is something you like less than the trigger
On this continuous feed
Firing off from the magazinе
Firing off from the hate you speak
But it's not thosе murdered that are the problem
Even if they had more melatonin
It's the ones holding the guns
And the the ones defending them
And the ones defending the hate
Of race
Of faith
Of gender
Of gays
Of anything that makes you afraid
Upon which this continuous feed runs
