Poetry: Numb

Have we made our children numb?
Anesthetized,
deadened.
Hav e they lost their sensitivity,
by watching such images again and again.
That they no longer shock or chill them?
Has violence lost its reality?
Has life lost its worth?
That it's fun to kill on a video game,
and leaves no feeling when it's real.
It is glorified in the movies,
gangsters are always cool.
Those with the guns or aggression,
are often shown as those who win!
Have we made our children numb?
Anesthetized,
deadened.
Hav e they lost their sensitivity?
Have their minds become sedated?

    I wish I couldn't remember,
    the things that I will never forget.
    Every day I build another wall,
    but the past isn't buried

    The day my chin

    sliced open on the ice;

    that day, i yearned to be numb.

    My head was pounding,

    my chin stinging
