Injustice will become the norm <br />Murders on the streets <br />Victims become nameless <br />Atrocities of war <br />Child soldiers <br />Smell the thick stench of death in the air <br />Human life would have lost its worth <br />Blood of nations sacrificed <br />Bodies dumped <br />Beneath the dirt <br />Screams of women ignored <br />Helpless as they witness <br />Their daughters suffer the torture of rape <br />Children’s innocence stripped away <br />Abandoned babies crying <br />Falling on deaf ears <br />The volume to human suffering is on mute <br />Entertainment, wealth and materialistic pursuits <br />More important <br />Than the suffering of the innocent <br />When the world turns a blind eye <br />The laughter of pleasurable ignorance <br />Will be louder than the cries for justice.<br /><br />Sincair Farrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-the-world-turns-a-blind-eye/
