Popularity Thanks to Tragedy

There's a smile on her face
As she weeps into her bowl
The cereal milk converges with tears
And the condo's are a fire
Just across the courtyard
But no one is screaming
And while she inserts spoon into mouth
Feasting on her self
The cataclysmic events unfold
As the fireman come just to watch
And the building slowly comes down
To a pile of smoldering ash
Yet she continues to smile
Keeps on eating herself
And then despite her best efforts the tears subside
Then a sinking feeling enters the pit of her stomach
As the acid rain eats away at the rubble
And she spits it all up
Tears and cheerios
Back into her bowl and she wanders on over
Staring out the window still
Her hand resting on the window sill
As the firemen smoke cigarettes
Laughing at each others jokes
The rage inside is driving her insane
Since no one is placing blame
There has to be something more to this
She knows it
But back then just moments ago
She was content to sit in silence
In tears and milk
Letting it burn down with indifference too
It is plain to see the bodies down below
No one is caring
And she never did
Until she ran out of nothing to do
Just like all of you.
