Cinderella Courage



Writing in her, warn and atristic, cozy den.
Coffee, Muse, thesaurus and her always flowing pen.

Outside, rowdy protestors chanted for equality!
Burning down businesses ..after all, it was for free!

She wrote of sparkling galaxies and outstanding stars.
But not the policemen killed in front of bars?

As the sun did set, Cinderella wrote of aromatic roses.
But not once, never, of the innocents with broken noses.

Our Cinderella wore earplugs to quell sounds of first responders.
After all, who wants to know of liberty's loss, she pathetically ponders!

We live in hope that good will overcome evil in our crazy world. Tom

Honestly, Tom it seems to worsen by the day. So On a strict news fast here about anything. Crackpots rule the universe....evil is admired. Goodness is insulted. We must pray. Churches closed in CA for over a year? Don't think they ever will, nor schools. Tragedy. Pangie. Pangie

Burying our head in the sand will not make it go away...unrealistic optimism. Good write Pangie! Linda

Indeed Linda! I cannot bear it. There's one thing to be positive...but standing in a burning building...singing " There's a hot time in the old time tonight" calls for a white jacket and lock ward. )). Thank you for commenting. Pangie xx
