Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Do Not Engage In Politics Or Religion

It is too much to handle.
Politics and religion
So I don’t

They seem to be the dividers
Dividing children from parents
Dividing siblings from brothers and sisters

They seem to be prevalent in this home
I arrived yesterday
I feel like I have landed in the middle of propaganda central

If I had extra money I would be gone
Since I do not, I am pretending I cannot taste or smell
They leave me alone while I revel in my fake Covid-19.
I am blissfully undisturbed in this bed.

L Milton Hankins July 11, 2022 at 11:34 AM Ah, I'm so glad you are wise enough to handle it responsibly. A fake Covid-19--a splendid idea to keep some folks at arms length. I love it. Caren Krutsinger July 11, 2022 at 11:40 AM Thank you Hank - a bit of truth, a bit of fiction

Kim Rodrigues July 11, 2022 at 9:20 AM We know this is often true. We must be wise…of course there is a time to be a martyr…some people think all times…sadly enough. God bless you! <3 Kim Caren Krutsinger July 11, 2022 at 11:40 AM God bless you Kim always
