Feed

To think
You can't take the time
to feed a fantasy football site
your money.

You can feed yourself with
burgers and fries.

You can feed yourself gossip
about an undefeated woman
pummeling a now defeated woman
who didn't shake hands
before the bout.

You can feed yourself news
of attacks and terror
to grow hatred.

But you won't feed your mind
the knowledge it needs
to understand the difference
between extremist
and peaceful practitioner.

You won't feed a Syrian refugee.
Or their terrified child.

But you'll watch.
You'll glance briefly.
You'll eat tonight.

You'll feed.

And you'll do nothing.
Unless you have the misfortune
to really see.

And then be forced to wait
 for someone to feed you
what you think
you deserve.
