Dehumanised annihilation

They dehumanise people

To make their annihilation,

Easier to sanatise for TV

So that it becomes nothing more,

Than background noise

Rather than televised war crimes,

To believe and see this happening

Broadcasted to living rooms,

Without people being outraged

Is as appalling as the brutality,

That people seem to accept

As if it is our everyday normal,

Rather than a shocking indictment

On how low our humanity has sunk.
