Desensitized

Woke up early on the tenth anniversary.

GOOD MORNING.

Fit in clips of it between food prep

shorts, weather reports.

Check the days' commute and a look at sports.

I remember how the wind was knocked from me before it became footage.

A footnote in history.

Recently I heard it could have been avoided.

It shouldn't have occurred.

A fundamental obligation to my parents and my kids.

LIFE gave me a glimpse of it.

Don't know who shot him, they never caught him.

Let's get to the bottom and blow off the lid.

I'm trying to keep a balance like the plates on top of sticks.

Chip away 'til it goes down, when it goes down apply the kicks.

Recently I think I heard it could have been avoided.

It shouldn't have occurred.

Sadly we're all desensitized to all the scandals and cover-ups,

The conspiracies and lies.
