Dawn

Dawn How to begin this day? We all begin it in our own way. Some frenetic, some memetic. The worst way is to listen to news. So unconcerned about killings of Christians and Jews. But dedicated to do anything for ratings and some shillings. All in the name of ratings winnings? Listen to their voices,they think they are thespians! Stressing drama and violence. Never a word about goodness in this world, it's all been silenced! Like hungry guppies, we need that morning dose! You know exactly what I mean, That somehow each day is just! a curse! Ungrateful beings, we..so drunk on our own poetry. Do any of us ask God: "What do YOU want me to do today." No, we do not think of Him. And scratch our heads..why is it then...that this world so full of conceit and sin? August 15, 2019

Very true! The entire work, the world of conceit in a nutshell. It's all about them. Ever notice the way they speak (news broadcasters)? Behind their eyes and words--what are my ratings? Will I get the next feature?--oblivious to the pain and suffering behind a real story. If you want to spend your life depressed, watch Mainstream news and TV Commercials all day. Except for the girl in the white suit and her male sidekick who do the insurance commercials. They are a hoot. There is no Light.

Yes, I noted in my poem the dramatics in news and the invitation to draw us into their madness. And so, music sans words plus reading helps. I know which commercial you mean!! Plastic straw fears, the earth is ending ,,the drumbeat of news. I do believe there is more than enough light and beauty, I think you know where that is.)) Panagiota thank you Joe

I like this, panagiota. hopefully, however, there are some who are thinking what God wants of them each day. Me - I rarely listen to the news at all. i have too many other things to do!!

Thank you Andrea! Good idea to stay busy, which I know you are. News is plain toxic. Once it gets in your brain one has to detox!-?)) Take care of you and your family. Thank you for the comments+visit..Panagiota xx
