I have seen this future
in the past.
You would think,
at last
we’d learn,
if like me you
had faith in humanity.
And still I try,
as should we all,
to be a light
and fight the dark.
But every day –
I feel it –
every day –
the constant barrage –
every day –
deep down fatigue –
every day:
We hurdle towards a
tragedy.

Yes. Yes. Yes to these feelings of dismay. I struggle with them as well. Try as I do to still be a light and a voice of reason in this period of idiocy, it never seems enough. But I still try. Keep writing. 👍

That’s what we can do, at the end of the day. Keep trying, keep creating, keep living.

I think we have to be that voice saying there is another way forward, even when it seems as if no one is listening. I just wrote my “representative” who does not represent me or anything I ever say, but still, I will not silence my voice just because someone does not answer it, let alone even listen and have a thoughtful conversation with me about my concerns. Reminds me of Leslie Odom Jr….”by a demagogue flexing…seriously?”

Yes, we just have to keep speaking up. It’s so hard, and everything feels so dangerous and ridiculous at the same time. Sigh. Yes, like, seriously?
