Day 21 Prompt: Overwhelmed

Title: Twenty-One

Too many ways of life have collided blindly, and many
With different values, and opaque
Eyes do not wish to look beyond their noses, so
Never open to face the desecration of a future reality, but shun the truth by
Turning aside from their depravity, feigning ignorance, and with
Yawning mouths the lords and ladies of disaster sit around a table.

-

Overwhelmed by public outcry they make placating noises, but still
No proactive action is taken, from where they sit comfortably in their ivory towers, reporting that
Everyone else but them is to blame
