With the click of a dial
turn news on and off
select what you will see
Neighbor next door
bruised face
tends garden
head down
hat covering eyes
Change the channel
avoid conflict
choose comedy instead
Baby cries upstairs
hungry
mom struggles to make ends meet
silently walks the street
Laugh at the tube
comfortable calm achieved
worries of world switched off
Harsh words said
door slams
teenage anger flares
flee to unknown destination
With the click of a dial
selection is made
oblivious to life at hand
Deal is made
in shadowy space
fate is sealed
with the click of a gun
