Breaking __ Day 4

Breaking ___ Day 4
 
The evening news casts
a shadow across
 
Over and over again I find
myself lost
 
Nightmare the debt too large
to be paid
 
Nightmare lives lost to 
the games that are played
 
Nightmare the spinning words
that spew nonstop
 
That stink of sulfur and lava
death and rot
 
I pour the wine and close
my eyes
 
Even the truth has learned
how to lie

I agree with Tracy.  What a last line. The poem builds to a truth we want to ignore. Marcel
