Oh, how I wish my tears would steer clear of the fear that lives here.
I am tired of the hate that is inspired by the spiral of bad faith actors working in accord with each other to enhance the discord that smothers compassion.
I am exhausted from passing my passion from within to my pen, from my mind to my computer and pasting pieces of poetry on social media sites that profit from greed and destruction in the form of views and ads.
It all feels bad, and I would be glad to grab a long nap and never have to rise and see the violent spree of soldiers killing civilians, while the state claims that these childrenβs suffering is justifiable, that these horrors are deniable, that these lies are viable, going viral, and capable of making some lives less valuable.
