In a Hurting World

A world of hurting
loud voices blurting
truth often denied
humans deified
stresses abounding.

Fake news astounds
rumors make rounds
hard to conceive
who to believe?

Damnation,
frustration
what to do?

Stay cool
No fool!

Hope

Shirley Hawkins Date: 9/9/2021 6:19:00 PM Hope being the operative word. Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 9/9/2021 6:56:00 PM Yes, in spite of everything today, I still found that I could reach down inside and pull up HOPE. Thanks, Shirley.

Gershon Wolf Date: 9/9/2021 4:32:00 PM Let's see now: Things to hope for -- Biden's untimely demise, along with Trump's; Harris' premature dementia, along with Schumer's; a lightning bolt eliminates all the members of 'The Squad a return to plain old sanity by BLM, Antifa, Proud Boys, Academia; an end to anti-vaccers and others of their ilk; hmmm I think that 'Hope' needs a few extra letters. ~ Just sayin' Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 9/9/2021 6:59:00 PM Everyone has to find their own hope deep inside, Gershon. I would not wish an "untimely" demise on anyone, but I think I understand where you are coming from. It will get better, trust me! Thanks for your comments.
