| Notes | This poem comments on the 'News of the Day', the ongoing news cycle that relies on shock value to attract the viewers attention. The speaker of the poem critiques the statistics and bureaucracy that negate the value of human lives, and minimise their import. The final couplet of the poem could be read as a commentary on the refugee crisis. This poem was published the same year as the Syrian Civil War began, widely believed as being the beginning of the European Refugee Crisis. |
